BRIGGS BURG!

DANNER RIM RIDES TO JUSTIN OWEN MEMORIAL SCORE

Rich Forman

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Lawrenceburg, Indiana (April 11, 2026)………Briggs Danner rode the rim of Indiana’s Lawrenceburg Speedway to perfection during Saturday night’s third annual Justin Owen Memorial Presented by Tempstar.

The Allentown, Pennsylvania native raced from his fifth place starting spot and into the lead just before the midway point of the 30-lap feature, then fended off Kyle Cummins on multiple restarts down the stretch to capture his first USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship win of the 2026 season.

Danner’s second USAC National Sprint Car triumph at Lawrenceburg’s 3/8-mile dirt oval was the eighth overall of his career, tying him with Mike Bliss, Chet Fillip, Johnny Rutherford, Joe Saldana and Jake Swanson for 62nd place on the all-time list.

The race was held in memory of Justin Owen, the 2022 sprint car track champion at Lawrenceburg who lost his life in a racing accident at the track in 2023. For Danner, it was certainly special to add his name alongside Kevin Thomas Jr. (2024) and Justin Grant (2025) as winners of the event.

“I feel like this is what it’s all about – for Justin,” Danner stated. “This is a really cool deal to be able to come out and be a part of it.”

Danner had an inkling the track was going to be to his liking. For him, it was just a matter of the high line giving him what he needed after being a bit thinner early on. In the end, Danner had his Hogue Racing Enterprises/E. Schneider & Sons – Keystone Cap/DRC/Rider Chevy dialed in.

“What a car this was to drive tonight,” Danner exclaimed. “It was making my job very easy, for sure. This was a helluva night and if we can keep them going this way, we’ll be okay.”

In a span of about a half lap on the third circuit of the feature, Danner picked off two off the top of turn four, eking around the outside of Jake Swanson for fourth, then nipping Mitchel Moles at the stripe in the blink of an eye later for third. Danner kept on pedaling near the outside wall, and blitzed his way by Justin Grant for second off the turn two top rope.

Cummins, meanwhile, had led from the outset. But soon, he reached the tail end of the field and Danner snipped the interval rather quickly, matching each and every one of Cummins’ needle-threading maneuvers along the way on the high banks.

By lap 13, Danner was right on Cummins’ rear bumper. Changing course, however, when Danner saw daylight on the bottom of turn three under Cummins, he left the top and went on the attack down low. Danner dove to the bottom of the track, then slid up in front of Cummins as he rose up the turn four banking, clearing the way to take over up front with authority.

After Austin Nigh (19th) spun to a stop in between turns three and four on the 19th lap, Danner’s 2.320 second lead over Cummins was erased. Cummins, with a new lease on his feature life, took instant capitalization of his reprieve to make a bid for the lead on the lap 19 restart. As Cummins drifted ahead of Danner in turn one, Danner quickly flicked the steering wheel and charged back under Cummins to re-secure the one spot.

But just when Danner thought he was back in the clear, Trey Osborne (11th) spun on the infield berm in turns three and four, which collected Cannon McIntosh (12th), grinding both to a halt. For McIntosh, the 2025 USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Champion, it was his first USAC National Sprint Car start in nearly five years. Earlier in the night, McIntosh captured a heat race win in his first run for KO Motorsports.

In turn, it set up another restart for Danner to go face-to-face with, and with Cummins hot on his trail.

“That was probably the longest 20 laps of my life, just waiting for the checker to fall,” Danner admitted. “I didn’t want to see those restarts come because I felt like I was in a rhythm and doing a good job on my part. To fend off Kyle on restarts is tough. He’ll be aggressive and he’s very calculating. He knows what he’s doing.”

This time, however, Cummins didn’t have a move on Danner in turn one. Danner was simply in another zip code as he muscled away once more, and “Danner” was all she wrote.

Danner defeated Cummins to the finish line by a 1.382 second margin with Justin Grant rounding out the podium in third. Robert Ballou made a late rally on the bottom to finish fourth while C.J. Leary rounded out the top-five.

Earning the $100 K & N Filters Clean Air award was Danner who led a race-high 18 laps en route to victory. Danner also added $400 to the bank for qualifying second quickest. The extra cash was one of the many rewards issued throughout the evening as part of the Justin Owen Memorial.

C.J. Leary lined his wallet with $150 for grabbing LearnLab Fast Qualifying honors, which provided the famed Fox No. 53 its first fast time award at Lawrenceburg since 2010 with Jon Stanbrough behind the wheel. For Leary, it was the 58th fast time of his USAC National Sprint Car career, just two behind Tracy Hines for third place all-time. Leary also bagged an extra $400 for laying down the second fastest time during hot laps.

USAC National Sprint Car Rookie David Gasper had a quite lucrative Lawrenceburg debut. The young Californian’s 23rd to 14th run in the feature netted him the Hard Charger award for the night. He collected $1,000 in Justin Owen Memorial cash for his efforts, plus $150 more from Rod End Supply.

Ryan Barr came up one spot short of the feature, but still came home with some extra money as the first non-transfer of the semi-feature. He was the recipient of the $264 Justin Owen Memorial bonus, plus the standard $200 USAC non-transfer money.

Four drivers earned bonuses by finishing fourth in their respective heat races in honor of Justin Owen's car number #4J. They were C.J. Leary, Logan Calderwood, Jadon Rogers and Cale Coons.

DOUBLE UP! THE BURG & TERRE HAUTE HOST USAC SPRINTS APRIL 11-12

chuck reed

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Speedway, Indiana (April 8, 2026)………Two of USAC’s most oft-visited dirt tracks are on the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship slate this weekend in the state of Indiana.

Both of which present some of the fastest and most exhilarating racing action of the season.

Lawrenceburg Speedway’s 3/8-mile oval presents the third annual Justin Owen Memorial on Saturday, April 11. The Terre Haute Action Track’s 1/2-mile oval showcases the series for the 23rd running of the Jim Hurtubise Classic on Sunday, April 12.

ONE-TWO-GRANT

Eleven of Justin Grant’s 67 career USAC National Sprint Car victories have come at the two tracks on this weekend’s docket – Lawrenceburg (7) and Terre Haute (4).

The Ione, California native is the defending winner of the Justin Owen Memorial. Furthermore, he’s the most recent USAC National Sprint Car winner at Terre Haute last Fall. Additionally, he’s also the winner of the two most recent series races, scoring at Florida’s Ocala Speedway in February and again at Illinois’ Red Hill Raceway last weekend.

His seven career USAC National Sprint Car wins at Lawrenceburg are tied with Dave Darland for the most all-time of any driver. He also owns four USAC National Sprint Car wins at Terre Haute, including the Hurtubise Classic in 2019.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT FOR BALLOU

Last week, Robert Ballou experienced an accident with a grinder that sliced open one of his wrists that required stitches. During last weekend’s feature at Red Hill, he felt the pain but still led 12 laps and finished fourth for his best result of the year thus far.

With another week of healing, the Rocklin, California racer is geared up to take on a pair of tracks in which he was won USAC races at.

Ballou has won three USAC National Sprint Car features in his career at Terre Haute, including the 2015 Hurtubise Classic. He reigned triumphant at Lawrenceburg back in 2011.

OWNING BOTH PLACES

Speaking of winning USAC National Sprint Car main events at both Lawrenceburg and Terre Haute, there are six drivers in this weekend’s field who meet that criteria: Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Logan Seavey, Chase Stockon, Robert Ballou and C.J. Leary.

Grant owns 11 series wins between the two places (7 at Terre Haute & 4 at Lawrenceburg). Thomas Jr. possesses eight (6 at Lawrenceburg & 2 at Terre Haute). Seavey has seven (5 at Lawrenceburg & 2 at Terre Haute).

Stockon’s first two career USAC National Sprint Car wins came at these two tracks. Overall, he has five victories between the two joints (4 at Terre Haute & 1 at Lawrenceburg). For Ballou, it’s four (1 at Lawrenceburg & 3 at Terre Haute). It’s three for Leary (2 at Lawrenceburg & 1 at Terre Haute).

BURG, BUT NO HAUTE…YET

On the flip side, there are two more drivers who’ve experienced USAC National Sprint Car victory lane at Lawrenceburg, but a win at Terre Haute has eluded them thus far: Kyle Cummins and Briggs Danner.

Cummins has won twice with USAC at Lawrenceburg in his career, including last Fall. Meanwhile, Danner has one from late in the 2024 season.

At Terre Haute, Cummins has twice finished as the runner-up with USAC in 2021 and 2023, and has finished on the podium on another two occasions in 2024 and 2025. He did win at Terre Haute with the Midwest Sprint Car Series in 2021.

Thus far, Danner’s best Terre Haute performance has come with the USAC Silver Crown in a fourth place run in 2025. His best USAC Sprint Car run so far at T.H.A.T. was an 8th in 2024.

Both Cummins and Danner are vying for their first USAC National Sprint Car wins of the year this coming weekend. Cummins enters on a streak of five consecutive top-five finishes while Danner had his best run of the year, a third, last Friday at Red Hill.

HONORING J.O.

Saturday’s third annual Justin Owen Memorial is a special one, honoring the life and memory of the driver who passed away in a qualifying crash during the April 2023 USAC event at Lawrenceburg.

The 26-year-old Owen was the 2022 sprint car track champion at Lawrenceburg, scoring two feature wins en route to the title at the 3/8-mile dirt oval in southeastern Indiana where he’d long been a regular competitor for several seasons. Among his greatest achievements were a victory in the season-closing Dick Gaines Memorial at Lawrenceburg in 2022. With USAC, Owen made two feature starts, both at Lawrenceburg in 2019 and 2021.

For Saturday, $8,004 will be up for grabs to the feature winner and $804 to start. Bonus money has also been added to the purse courtesy of friends, family, sponsors, donations and t-shirt sales.

Among the bonuses are rewards for second fastest hot lap time, second fastest qualifying time, fourth place finisher in each heat race, first non-transfer in the semi-feature, fourth place in the feature, and more.

Furthermore, Shawn Westerfeld will be on hand to compete in the event as the driver of the Fischesser-Owen Racing #4J, the same team with which Owen drove for.

THE INCREDIBLE HERK

It’s been five years since the last Jim Hurtubise Classic was held. Between 1990-2021, it was a yearly occurrence at the Terre Haute Action Track, but the event returns to the schedule this Sunday.

The race honors the late, great Hurtubise, the 1993 National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and 2015 USAC Hall of Fame inductee who achieved what seemed nearly impossible, winning five consecutive USAC National Sprint Car feature events at Terre Haute between 1960 and 1962.

Hurtubise, of North Tonawanda, N.Y., stood the racing world on its ears in 1960 when he flirted with the 150-mph barrier at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where he was that year’s Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year. National Championship wins for Hurtubise came at Sacramento, Calif., Langhorne, Pa. and Springfield, Ill. (twice), before suffering serious burns in an accident at Milwaukee, Wisc. in 1964.

He was the last driver to wheel a front-engine car at the Indianapolis 500 in 1968. A spectacular Sprint Car racer, he won 14 USAC features and was also an accomplished stock car racer, having won the 1966 Atlanta 500 NASCAR Cup race.

Rusty McClure, who captured his one and only career USAC National Sprint Car victory during the 1992 Jim Hurtubise Classic at the Terre Haute Action Track, will serve as the grand marshal.

RED HILL & PARAGON BORDER WAR FOR USAC SPRINTS APRIL 3-4

josh james

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Speedway, Indiana (April 2, 2026)………The USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship finally gets back to business this weekend with a pair of visits to dirt tracks on each side of the Illinois/Indiana border.

First up is the series’ fourth ever trip to Sumner, Illinois’ Red Hill Raceway on Friday night, April 3, at the 3/8-mile oval.

That’s followed up by the 16th running of the Chuck Amati Classic, for the first time under USAC sanctioning, at Indiana’s 3/8-mile Paragon Speedway on Saturday night, April 4.

February in Florida is in the books. Now, it’s time to rock the full bulk of the schedule as it’s pretty much non-stop for USAC circle track action through Thanksgiving weekend from here on out. Let’s get you up to speed!

LOGAN LEADING

Logan Seavey enters the weekend as the USAC National Sprint Car point leader, and is the only driver to this point to have won multiple feature events after the first six rounds of competition in Florida in February.

Not only that, he also comes in as the most recent Red Hill winner, scoring last June’s main event by leading all 32 laps en route to victory in his Abacus Racing No. 57.

OSBORNE ALL IN

Trey Osborne warmed the hearts of the racing world with his first career USAC National Sprint Car win in February at Florida’s Ocala Speedway, getting the job done on a shoestring budget in his own Trey Osborne Racing No. 6T.

His performances through the first six races have him ranked ninth in points, and now he’s set to run the full slate of USAC National Sprint Car races in 2026.

He’s bet on himself, and recently informed his boss that his last day at his full-time day job was going to be April 1. Now, he’s going on the road.

LEARY ON THE RUN WITH FOX

C.J. Leary is set to take on a slate of 30 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship events in 2026 as the driver of the Fox Brothers-Brayden Fox Racing No. 53, starting this weekend.

The Fox 53 is a legendary machine in USAC racing circles, having amassed 19 career USAC National Sprint Car feature victories with team owner Brad Fox winning twice as a driver between 1997-1998 and Jon Stanbrough capturing 17 main event wins in the team’s historic run from 2006-2011.

Brad and team co-owner Steve Fox’s father, and Brayden’s grandfather, Galen Fox, was a master chief mechanic on the Gohr Racing team, which was a 30-time USAC National Sprint Car winner between 1975-1991 with their legendary Genesee Beer Wagon rides being driven by the likes of Sheldon Kinser, Tom Bigelow, Rick Hood, Kenny Jacobs and Danny Smith. In 1980, the team won the USAC National Sprint Car entrant title.

When not in the Fox car, Leary plans to compete in the remaining USAC events in another yet-to-be-determined ride.

SWANSON SHOWS THE WAY

Jake Swanson has started his 2026 season in fine form aboard his Daming Swanson Motorsports No. 5T.

He won on his second night out on the USAC National Sprint Car tour at Volusia in February, and hasn’t finished outside the top-10 in any of his six starts so far, which has him fourth in the standings.

Furthermore, he supplemented his strong start by capturing a victory in the unsanctioned No Way Out 40 at Paragon in mid-March, setting the tone as the series springs forward into April.

MOLES WAS PARAGON’S BEST IN ‘25

Mitchel Moles’ lone victory of the 2025 season came last September at Paragon where he won the closest race of the entire USAC national season.

Moles beat Kyle Cummins to the line by a .021 second margin in his Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports No. 19AZ, and ended the season with a career best runner-up finish in the standings.

After a bit of a middling start to the 2026 campaign, Moles heated up at the end of his Florida run in February by notching three consecutive top-five finishes with a fourth, fifth and a fourth down the stretch. He currently ranks eighth in points entering the weekend.

ROGERS TOUGHING IT OUT

In mid-March, Jadon Rogers broke the lower part of his fibula while competing in a basketball league. For most, after this kind of surgery, that would mean some sheet time and recuperation while staying away from racecars or much of anything that involves physicality for the time being.

But not for Rogers. A little over a week later, he was back in the cockpit with the Midwest Thunder Sprint Cars and finished on the podium with a third place result at Windy Hollow Speedway in Kentucky.

Much like Justin Grant a year ago, Rogers was seen in post-race victory lane photos sporting a pair of crutches. Rogers even offered thanks to Grant for helping him along in this process.

ONE-ARMED BANDIT HISTORY

Saturday’s Chuck Amati Classic celebrates its 16th running this Saturday night, but for the first time under USAC sanction.

Ricky Lewis enters as the two-time and defending race winner in 2024-2025. Other two-time winners include Brady Short (2011 & 2016), Jake Swanson (2021 & 2022) and Chris Windom (2010 & 2013).

One-time winners include Josh Cunningham (2012), Jon Stanbrough (2014), Chad Boespflug (2015), Shane Cottle (2017), Robert Ballou (2018), Jordan Kinser (2019) and Cody Trammell (2023).

Amati, nicknamed The One-Armed Bandit, was a premier sprint car racer who captured back-to-back Indiana Sprint Week titles in 1989-1990 and scored three-straight Paragon track championships in 1988-1989-1990. In 2004, he was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.

RACE DETAILS

On Friday, April 3, at Red Hill Raceway, pits open at 3:00pm Central, front gates open at 5:00pm, drivers meeting at 5:30pm and hot laps at 6:30pm with qualifying and racing to follow.

Leary & Clouser Set for USAC Silver Crown Title Runs with Team AZ-Petty-Rossi-Curb-Agajanian

chris pederson

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Speedway, Indiana (March 31, 2026)………C.J. Leary and Mario Clouser will run full-time as teammates in pursuit of the 2026 USAC Silver Crown National Championship under the Team AZ-Petty-Rossi/Curb-Agajanian banner.

Leary will drive the team’s No. 21 entry while Clouser will pilot the No. 20 DRC/Stanton-powered machine on both the dirt and pavement circuits throughout the 11-race tour.

For Leary (Greenfield, Indiana), it’s his second full season with the team after finishing runner-up in the 2025 standings, and has his eyes on the prize for his first career Silver Crown driving title after previously scoring the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship in 2019.

“Our main goal is focused on winning the championship, I believe we have all the tools necessary,” Leary stated. “I've always loved Silver Crown racing, and I feel like I'm definitely capable of doing it. I feel like I'm one of the few guys who can bounce back-and-forth between the dirt and asphalt really well. I just want to notch that loop in my belt.”

As for Clouser (Auburn, Illinois), he got the opportunity to race for three different teams in USAC Silver Crown competition in 2025: Rice-Abacus, Kazmark and Team AZ-Petty-Rossi. The latter of which he drove for twice a season ago, finishing 10th at the Kansas State Fairgrounds after leading a race high 42 of 100 laps. In the Eldora Speedway finale, he took seventh for the team.

Owning recent experience with the team, Clouser enters the season with a bright outlook as he gets the opportunity to compete on the full tour and chase after a championship.

“I'm super excited to have a chance to run for the championship with a team that is as motivated and as dedicated as these guys are,” Clouser said. “I got to drive for them a few times over the last couple of years. So, I've kind of seen their program and I’ve seen the quality of equipment they have. I kind of hounded (team owner) Mike (Burkhart) pretty hard at the end of last year to try and maybe see if we can make something work somehow to where we could run a full season together because I feel like we can contend for a championship.”

Leary won twice in the latter half of the 2025 season for the team, capturing a victory on the pavement of Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and on the dirt of the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in southern Illinois. It’s the kind of balance between both surfaces that is of utmost importance when it comes to rising to the top of the standings at year’s end.

“Joe Devin with DRC and Corey Fillip with Advanced Racing Shocks really got our pavement program dialed in last year and our dirt program turned around towards the latter half of the season. So, I feel like we finally kind of hit on where we needed to be with our dirt program,” Leary noted. “With the schedule being as short as it is, you can't have a DNF or really a bad night. Whoever can put together solid runs each night is going to win, and I think we can do that. But it's a hard deal. Getting the car to last for 100 laps or 100 miles without any issues is harder than most people think.”

For Clouser, this very well could be his breakthrough year with the series. One year ago, he finished on the podium three times at IRP, Springfield and Du Quoin, while earning his first career pole position at IRP en route to a career best fifth place result in the final standings.

“I’m just super grateful for the opportunity and really excited to see what we can do,” Clouser said. “I ran really well last year while bouncing around between team to team. So, I feel like if I can get in the same car each week and not have to try and figure out a new team and a new car and all that stuff in a matter of just hot laps, I think we can run even better. So, I'm just super excited about it.”

The 11-race 2026 USAC Silver Crown National Championship season begins on May 8-9 on the dirt at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson where Leary and Clouser led a total of 78 of the 100 laps between the two.

The team’s program is proudly supported by Avanti Windows & Doors, Curb Records, Apache Transport, Pella Windows & Doors, AMSOIL, Sander Engineering, OakCraft Elegant Cabinetry and B1st Concrete Coatings.

LEARY TEAMS WITH FOX FOR 30 USAC SPRINT RACES IN 2026

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Speedway, Indiana (March 31, 2026)………C.J. Leary is set to take on a slate of 30 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship events in 2026 as the driver of the Fox Brothers-Brayden Fox Racing No. 53.

Leary will make his debut for the team this coming weekend as the series eyes a pair of races starting Friday night, April 3, at Red Hill Raceway in Sumner, Illinois, followed by a Saturday night, April 4, date at Indiana’s Paragon Speedway for the Chuck Amati Classic.

When not in the Fox car, Leary plans to compete in the remaining USAC events in another yet-to-be-determined ride.

Brad and team co-owner Steve Fox’s father, and Brayden’s grandfather, Galen Fox was a master chief mechanic on the Gohr Racing team, which was a 30-time USAC National Sprint Car winner between 1975-1991 with their legendary Genesee Beer Wagon being driven by the likes of Sheldon Kinser, Tom Bigelow, Rick Hood, Kenny Jacobs and Danny Smith. In 1980, the team won the USAC National Sprint Car entrant title.

Leary is thrilled to become the next to carry on the tradition as a driver for the Fox family.

“I'm excited to drive the 53,” Leary stated. “The Fox boys are legendary. When I started racing sprint cars, they were winning all the races with Stanbrough. It's going to be pretty cool to get to drive for them, and hopefully win some races together.”

In recent years, the Brad and Steve Fox owned ride has been driven by Brad’s son, Brayden Fox, with USAC and on the local Indiana circuit. But after Brayden stepped away from driving duties in 2025, and Leary was without a full-time ride, the timing was right for the combination of USAC winners to join forces for a big USAC schedule together in the coming year.

“It’ll be a fresh breath of air, getting to drive for a father-son team like I used to drive for and be a part of it,” Leary stated. “I know they spent a lot of money and built some new stuff, and I’m really looking forward to going racing with them.”

Leary captured the 2019 USAC National Sprint Car driving title and owns 24 career series wins. Furthermore, with a current run of 321 consecutive USAC National Sprint Car feature starts dating back to 2017, he’s just six shy of Justin Grant’s all-time record of 327 set between 2017-2025.

Fox has 30 USAC races planned for Leary at the moment with the bulk of their program taking place in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. The team may also plan to run more if the schedule allows.

“I think Brad, Steve and Brayden bring a lot to the table, and now I’ve got to do my part,” Leary praised. “I'm turning 30 this year, and maybe, I'm just hitting my stride.”

Speedway, Indiana (March 30, 2026)………Briggs Danner has been known to race anything and anywhere, while producing great results, throughout his career.

In 2026, the Allentown, Pennsylvania 24-year-old will tackle a new challenge as he takes on a championship run with the USAC Silver Crown National Championship for DDMW Motorsports, a joint team effort between Lebanon, Ohio’s Doran Racing and Phoenix, Arizona’s DMW Motorsports who will continue to run their operations out of separate shops.

Over the offseason, Kody Swanson announced his intentions to step away from the cockpit in USAC Silver Crown competition to take on the role of Series Director. With the seat vacated, Danner has taken over the role as the driver of the car on the pavement side of the schedule this coming year.

Meanwhile, Danner will continue as the dirt driver for Mickey Meyer’s DMW Motorsports for the third consecutive season. The combo deal between Doran and DMW will allow the team to run for both the driver and entrant championships under the same banner, while sporting the No. 10 on both cars.

Danner couldn’t be any more thrilled about the opportunity and how it all came together.

“E. Schneider & Sons Recycling have done a lot for me as far as sponsoring stuff and whatnot,” Danner explained. “Rich Christine is involved with E. Schneider & Sons and he was good friends in road racing with Kevin Doran. When word got out that Kody was going to be doing what he's doing this year, (Doran) said they didn't really have plans as far as what they were going to do. So, through Rich and through John (Schneider), we kind of persuaded them to try to put a deal together and it ended up working out.”

Over the past two seasons on dirt in the USAC Silver Crown series, Danner has amassed 13 career starts, and in July of 2025, he collected his first career series win in the Salt City 100 at the Kansas State Fairgrounds, which also marked the first USAC victory for DMW Motorsports. In 2026, it just so happens to be the site of the series season opener, and Danner can’t wait to get back.

“It was awesome,” Danner reminisced. “To get that win for Mickey and for John (Schneider), all the guys back at the shop and everybody who’s involved was pretty cool. To get Mickey's first win was awesome. He was ecstatic. He was smiling from ear-to-ear. It was a 100-lap race, and to be as dominant as we were at the end of that race, it just felt really good for everybody involved. It was a cool deal and we look forward to going back.”

Getting the hang of a machine with a long wheel base, big fuel load and long distance races makes champ car racing extra challenging, especially when you consider the schedule to be much more concise than, say, a USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car slate, which encompasses around four times the amount of races per season, on average.

“It's tough to do,” Danner admitted. “There are 50-plus sprint car races a year, but for Silver Crown racing, there's only six or seven shows on dirt. So, it's kind of a tough deal. It takes a while to get really good at, I feel like, and that just goes as far as strategy with long distance races, tire wear, fuel consumption and that kind of stuff. I enjoy it.”

It’s not a foreign concept to Danner who came of age within the east coast dirt modified racing scene where long distance races are somewhat the norm. To him, Silver Crown racing is sort of an extension of that world.

“Going into the dirt Silver Crown stuff, I look forward to the kind strategy side of it. It's not just a green flag drops and you go as fast as you can kind of race,” Danner explained. “I like the strategy side of the Silver Crown stuff and I think it might be more crucial on the pavement side.”

While Danner hasn’t run much pavement in his racing career, it’s not completely new to him. He’s run a handful of times on the hard top, winning an American TQ Midget Racing Association feature at New Jersey’s Wall Stadium in 2021 during the Turkey Derby. This past winter on an indoor concrete floor surface, he scored a pair of Indoor Auto Racing Championship TQ Midget main events at Allentown’s PPL Center and again at Boardwalk Hall in New Jersey.

“I've always enjoyed the pavement stuff, whether it be open wheel, fenders or modifieds,” Danner stated. “But I’ve just never really had an opportunity to be able to do anything just because there's not much (pavement) racing around here. I'm really looking forward to being able to work with Kevin (Doran) in this joint effort so we can run for the championship. I'm looking forward to just getting in the car and getting my feet wet and see what it's all about.”

Danner will now get to step into the pavement car for a team that’s won 17 career USAC Silver Crown events, seventh most on the all-time list, plus a pair of series championships in 2022 and 2024.

“It's big,” Danner exclaimed. “I mean, if it doesn't go fast on the track, it's probably only one person's fault. It’s probably mine. So, it's kind of good and bad on that side of things, I guess. But I'm looking forward to it. The biggest thing you could do as a driver is have confidence going into a race. Obviously, the Doran team has been on top of the game for a pretty long time. I'm looking forward to seeing what I'm able to do with it, how quickly I'm able to adapt, and hopefully, produce results. Hopefully, we have a solid year as long as we keep showing the speed that we've had and have no mishaps. I think we stand as good a shot as everybody else.”

The 11-race 2026 USAC Silver Crown National Championship season begins on May 8-9 on the dirt at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson where Danner enters as the defending Salt City 100 winner in his Fuel Mart, E. Schneider & Sons and Sennebogen sponsored No. 10.
