BROWNSBURG, Ind. — The largest car count for a pavement USAC Silver Crown event in the past 18 years will arrive at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park on Friday night, May 26, for the 66th running of the Hoosier Hundred.
Thirty-five entries are set to compete in the $25,000-to-win, 146-lap, 100-mile battle at the .686-mile paved oval, the most for a pavement event in the series since August of 2005, also at IRP.
The Hoosier Hundred has been revived after a three-year hiatus, and for the first time on pavement. The race is all part of the festivities during Carb Night Classic Presented By Protective Insurance. It’s a rare treat for race fans of all sorts, featuring four divisions of racing in one night: USAC Silver Crown, USF Pro Championships Presented By Cooper Tires, USF Pro 2000 Presented By Cooper Tires and Pavement Midgets.
Two past Hoosier Hundred winners are in this Friday’s field: Kody Swanson (2014-15-16-18) and Jerry Coons Jr. (2011-12). Kody (2017-18-21) is also one of three past Carb Night Classic winners in the lineup alongside Tanner Swanson (2016 & 2020) and Bobby Santos (2022).
