$100,000 BONUS UP FOR GRABS SATURDAY NIGHT AT ELDORA 4-CROWN NATIONALS

Saturday’s 35th running of the “4-Crown Nationals” will not only feature intense competition and a pit area full of four classes of racecars.  One driver has the opportunity to take home a bag full of cash by virtue of winning three of the night’s four feature events or by capturing the ultimate prize of winning all four!

A driver who is victorious in Saturday night’s USAC National Midget, USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car, USAC Silver Crown and Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions event will receive a whopping $100,000 bonus in addition to their $23,000 in winnings for capturing each of the four features.

A driver who is able to win three of the four features will still receive a $25,000 bonus in addition to their winnings for the night.

At press time, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma’s Brady Bacon and Indianapolis, Indiana’s Tyler Courtney are the only two who’ve secured rides for all four divisions.  Jerry Coons, Jr. and Dave Darland (USAC Midget, Sprint Car and Silver Crown) as well as Bill Rose (USAC Sprint Car, Silver Crown and All Star) will participate in three of the four classes and are eligible to win $25,000.

Furthermore, the three drivers who advance the most positions during each of the three USAC features on Saturday night will receive the Larry Rice High Performance Award, which will provide a driver a plaque and a $750 bonus in addition to the KSE Hard Charger Award certificate that is presented at each and every USAC National event throughout the season. 

The Martens Machine Shop Hard Charger Award plus the Rice and KSE bonuses will pay a total of $900 in total awards to the driver advancing the most positions during the 50-lap Silver Crown feature in addition to the driver’s winnings during Saturday night’s 50-lap feature.

Spectator gates for Saturday’s “4-Crown Nationals” open at noon, while hot laps are set to begin at 4:30pm with qualifications to immediately follow and racing at 8pm.
