CRUCEAN/MAHONEY VIDEO PARTY SET FOR FRIDAY, JANUARY 19 AT USAC
By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Speedway, Indiana (December 13, 2023)………Save the date! On Friday night, January 19, 2024, join us for a Salute to the Crucean/Mahoney Movie Parties Presented by Marc Dailey Racing.
There, we will relive the famed Crucean/Mahoney movie parties at USAC headquarters, located at 4910 W. 16th Street, Speedway, IN 46224. Doors for the event will open at 6pm Eastern.
The event is a fundraiser for USAC RaceAid, formerly known as the USAC Benevolent Foundation. The event will include an evening of historic USAC racing movies from the Dick Wallen collection, plus appearances by USAC Stars past and present. A silent memorabilia auction will be held, and furthermore, snacks and refreshments will be served.
The event is free to attend although donations to RaceAid are encouraged and appreciated. Crucean and Mahoney are both inductees of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and did so much to promote racing and were so vital to the preservation of racing history, particularly USAC.
