You are correct as it pertains to the Silver Crown Division. Of course the overall dirt mile record is held by Sammy Swindell set at The Springfield Mile which is just shy of 5 seconds quicker (24.719) and over 22 MPH faster (145.637) than the Walker record at Du Quoin.
I witnessed the Silver Crown record Walker set at Du Quoin driving for Kasey Kahne and it was a thing of beauty. Walker went on to win the Horn Memorial leading all 100 miles the same night. He went basically unchallenged for the victory and did his signature flip off the right rear.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
