How do we get the USAC leadership to work toward getting Silver Crown back to Phoenix in March and Milwaukee in August? Indycar's 2026 schedule has a couple opportunities that have always been great tracks for the Silver crown series.

Contact the WI State Fair promoters board (for the Milwaukee wknd)? They ran it last year...
We know USAC wants to go to PHX & MIL but the promoters of those tracks have to want USAC. In the past mile tracks have wanted USAC to bring the purse + 10/20K and they keep the back gate. Any volunteers want to help here?

New promotion group of Milwaukee last year...they basically took it over (after 2023)...Penske was involved with the takeover in 2024 too, but last year was just the WI Fair group...(I couldn't find an article on that, but maybe someone could...).

The Indycar weekend at Phoenix is the same weekend at the NASCAR Cup Series race. This is the first time that I know of that Indycar & the NASCAR Cup Series shared the same track on the same weekend. I have a hunch that either the Xfinity Series or the Truck Series will be with them. If the USAC Silver Crown Series were to join them I would think that race would be on a Friday, but it would be a very crowded pit area. Be cool if it happens that the Silver Crown race make its way to a tv screen like FS1. That could be a great weekend for all parties involved and give the Silver Crown guys and gals a chance to run in front of the NASCAR and IndyCar teams and showcase their talent. Who knows maybe one of them gets a chance at a ride.

20 car owners willing to tow 3500 miles for one race. They were down to 14 at Salem, 100 miles from Indy.
