Nope, but he did both in 1998 as well. Finished in 9th in both races as well.

Tony Stewart.

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.

Donnie Beechler raced in both the Hoosier Hundred and the Indy 500 in 2000. He finished 24th in the Hoosier Hundred and 12th in the Indy 500. But there is one little difference. These two races were not run on the same weekend that particular year because the Hoosier Hundred was postponed due to rain on May 26 and was rescheduled for September 22.

Richie, didn't Ed Carpenter do the double in 2000 as well?

His rookie year at the Indy 500 was in 2004.

I see. Not sure but I think he did, however, win the pole for the Hoosier 100 in 2000 or 2001.
