COST CONTAINMENT HIGHLIGHTS “HOOSIER’S” SILVER CROWN COMMITMENT

Cost containment, a primary factor in motorsports success during these challenging times for our sport, serves as the backdrop for Hoosier Tires’ commitment to the USAC Silver Crown Championship Series and its participants.

Beginning in 2015, Hoosier will serve as the Official Tire for the USAC Silver Crown Series, allowing USAC to maintain cost-effective controls which will benefit participants on both dirt and paved ovals.

“It’s no secret that Hoosier has been one of USAC’s most ardent supporters and contributors,” says USAC Racing Director Davey Hamilton. “We sincerely appreciate their long-lasting dedication to our sport and look forward to their continuing involvement.”

The 2015 USAC Silver Crown Series opens tomorrow at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway with the running of the Hemelgarn Super Fitness “Rollie Beale Classic” and continues through October as venues in Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio and New York.

“We are truly excited about the direction of the series and the increased participation by car owners as we move into the 2015 season,” adds Silver Crown Coordinator Andy Hillenburg. “Returning to Iowa Speedway (June 20) is among series expansion we expect in the years ahead.”

New for 2015 is also the afternoon timetable for the May 23 race at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis, which will witness an approximate 1:30 green flag. Round three of the series, the race follows by just two days the Thursday night renewal of the prestigious “Hoosier Hundred” at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

“We have been the official tire supplier at pavement events for many years and now to be the official tire for all USAC Silver Crown events including the dirt, is very exciting for our company and network of Hoosier Racing Tire Distributors,” said Paul Menting, Hoosier Racing Tire Sales Manager.

“The USAC Silver Crown Series has a great tradition of racing and is rich in history. We look forward to providing a quality and consistent product along with full trackside service at each and every event by our distributor network,” said Neil Cowman, Business Unit Manager for Oval Track Dirt.

Hoosier’s tire program has been a staple of USAC participants for many years and their involvement in the Silver Crown Series allows us to provide a proper tire for all competitors for use in these events,” added Hamilton.
