Since its inaugural running, the United States Auto Club’s (USAC) National Midget Series, National Sprint Car Championship and Silver Crown Series have been three of the four crowns represented. Most recently, and again this Saturday night, the fourth crown will be the winged sprint cars of the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 (ASCoC).
The weekend kicks off Friday night with the “Be4 The Crowns Showdown” featuring the World of Outlaws (WoO) Craftsman Sprint Car Series. They will be joined by the championship event for the Eldora Stock Cars and qualifying time trials for the USAC Silver Crown Series.
