Never seen a silver crown race here. How many cars should be there?
Posted via Mobile Device

Looking like mid- to high-20s with a possibility of reaching thirty. Hoping the Silver Crown guys show up in force, as this one is important for the series and for any future make-up dates for big races, and, in particular, Silver Crown events...

Here's what we know so far:
3 A.J. Fike
5 Shane Cottle
6 Bobby East
10 Levi Jones
14 Donnie Beechler
16 Tracy Hines
17 Shane Hmiel
19 Tanner Swanson
20 Shane Hollingsworth
21 Brian Tyler
22 Bryan Clauson
23 Kody Swanson
27 Jerry Coons, Jr.
29 Bud Kaeding
37 Jon Stanbrough
39 Mike Hess
50 Zach Daum
51 Russ Gamester
55 Randy Bateman
56 Dave Darland
63 Todd Kane
76 Kellen Conover
90 Johnny Heydenreich
91 Derek Hagar
97 Matt Westfall
125 Robert Ballou
153 Tom Capie
199 Jeff Swindell
991 Justin Carver

Hey, 29 cars not bad!

Sure would be nice to see that number climb into the mid 30's

Curiously, wonder what the car count was... say... in the late 70's and early 80's?

According to "Dirt Road to a Silver Crown", the only Silver Crown race at Terre Haute from 1975 through 1985 was on November 2, 1980. The books shows results for 20 starters. Without going back to NSSN, I would guess that might be the total number there, because they list 19 & 22 for the two races in Tulsa, 22 for Williams Grove, 23 & 27 for DuQuoin, 28 for Springfield and 29 for the Indy mile. Given those different numbers, my guess would be that they let everyone run.

Everyone should go to the 500 Museum of Wheels that will be open from 9-12 on Saturday if you are coming in town for the race. A bunch of race cars and pace cars there.

Gary Bettenhausen was the winner.

With 29 cars 7 of them might not make the show.

Terre Haute is the best track to watch the big cars in my opinion. Still debating on coming up but just hope the car count is good.
