The word i am getting from the track is.....he ran out of fuel.....this is only what I heard so if it is not true....dont be mad....but heard it from 2 different sources.....maybe they didnt know it was 40 laps....just remember this is only speculation....

If they are using the standard point system to figure the USAC National Championship Bryan Clauson
takes the lead after 5 of 88 events (including 1 rain out).

1- Bryan Clauson......189 pts (2nd, 7th, 6th, 6th)

I think Ballou started 12th.

how long before the silver crown race?? how many laps??

12th

Just went green.

sorry - i don't understand the points deal - ? and 88 races? is there some combo point deal with all three divisions? cause i'm pretty sure none of the three divisions run 88 shows - ?

Silver crown feature is 50 laps.

USAC is doing something new this year with a "National Drivers Championship."

http://www.usacracing.com/silvercrow...s_sc/3355.html

From www.usacracing.com

The United States Auto Club announced today a new “National Drivers Championship” which will recognize extraordinary performance in 2010 for drivers competing in USAC Racing’s National Silver Crown, Sprint Car and Midget Championships. The new National Driving Championship is being instilled to complement the tradition of awarding Championships in each of USAC’s three pillar series.

For 2010, the “National Drivers Championship” will calculate points earned based on performance in all three National Series combined. Of the eighty-eight potential races between the three national series (Silver Crown, Sprints & Midgets), USAC will tally points for the best 25 finishes of competitors for recognizing the new overall National Driving Champion.

The National Drivers Champion will be awarded with a year-end payout of $40,000 for the first place alone. A large fund has been established for the top 10 finishing competitors of the National Driving Championship. The total point fund for the three National series combined is being increased by 35% in 2010, with the increase benefitting both car owners and drivers with USAC’s 50/50 points fund structure.

“The new National Drivers Championship has been established to bring fan focus to our top drivers and allow for expanded marketing efforts,” stated Kevin Miller, CEO of USAC Racing. “During 2009, we ran a parallel points structure which proved to have a close top 10 race and dramatic finish for the season. This will now allow a competitor with just a dirt sprint car or midget, or one with a pavement concentration, to compete for a USAC Championship.”

Also for 2010, along with the overall National Sprint Car and Midget Championships, USAC will recognize dirt and pavement points leader car entrants in each of these series at their annual “Night of Champions” banquet scheduled for December 3 at the eloquent Indiana Roof Ballroom in downtown Indianapolis.

USAC Championships have a storied past and are recognized among the sports most iconic thresholds. Past USAC National Champions include Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt, Al and Bobby Unser, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne.
