1988 was the last year a USAC champion won the title using the same car on dirt and pavement. Steve Butler turned the trick in the Jeff Stoops #1. Another interesting fact about that scenario. Butler ran the Kings Royal at Eldora on a Saturday night and was at Salem the next day with the same car! We will likeley nexr see those days again.

Was the Dave Blaney driven #40 pictured there one of the Stanton cantilever chassis? And where could a list of the USAC wing shows of that period be found?
