http://www.maconracing.com/?p=2252. As the Indy 500 nears, the action on some of the most historic dirt tracks in the state come alive to sling some dirt. The Tony Hulman Classic USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series is Wednesday night, May 21. George Snider won the Hulman Classic debut, and Jerry Coons Jr. is the defending champion. In between, there have been memories to last a lifetime. In addition to Coons, former race winners expected to compete*Wednesday*will be 2011 winner Chris Windom, Jon Stanbrough (2002, 2007), Daron Clayton (2006), Tracy Hines (2001) and Dave Darland (1993).
Thursday night the "Big Cars" of USAC, the Silver Crown Series takes to the historic Indy Mile for the Hoosier Hundred. Over the years, the Hoosier Hundred has served as the perfect complement to the Indy 500, and the race still reminds long-time Indy 500 fans of the country’s racing roots on dirt tracks. Seven winners of the Hoosier Hundred have also won the Indy 500, led by A.J. Foyt, who won the Hoosier Hundred six times and the Indy 500 four times. Thus, the historic one-mile dirt oval at the fairgrounds complex is known as the Track of Champions.
