Firestone Indy 225 weekend at Nazareth Speedway in the beautiful Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania will be a 4 open-wheel series extravaganza! The second annual event, scheduled for August 22-24, features the USAC Weld Racing Silver Crown Series, USAC National Sprint Car Series, USAC National Midget Cars and the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series.

JJ Yeley tested his Steve Lewis midget a few weeks ago at the 1-mile oval. When it was all over, Yeley offered a look ahead for fans on the midget race. “For the fans, they are going to see one of the better races that come to this racetrack because the cars are small and they handle well enough that they are able to race two and three abreast. All three divisions (USAC) are going to be able to put on a good show and race side by side.” For additional information, log onto Nazareth Speedway’s web site, www.nazarethspeedway.com .

Johnny “Hot Rod” Heydenreich of Bloomsburg, PA will be the driver for the Sharon Bank USAC Silver Crown entry. Johnny comes off a strong 5th place in Silver Crown championship points in 2002, and is looking forward to the Nazareth show. In addition, there will be several entrants from Pennsylvania in all divisions.

If you are from Pennsylvania, this is a “not to miss” race event! If you do attend the show, please stop by the #90 pit and say “hello”! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail.

Hey, I forgot to ask you, have you ever raced at Eldora, or Winchester?

[Silvercrown90]

Thanks for the compliment on the photo! Yes, we have raced the dirt Silver Crown car in 2001 and 2002 at Eldora during the Four Crown Nationals traditionally held in September during the same weekend as the Mopar Million. Johnny Heydenreich also set a new 1-lap track qualifying record for USAC Sprint cars at the Eldora Speedway in 1997, and I also believe he ran a pavement sprint car at Winchester. He is entered in the Mopar Million in the #44 Greg Staab entry. Here's a picture of the dirt Silver Crown car at the Indiana State Fairgrounds this May:

Hey, thanks a million for the BD wishes!
And don't be surprized if I stop in to your pit. We run at Eldora in a stock car #32 Tim Cornett and we are there any time we can be. I practically live there. I've been a sprint and Silver Crown fan since the 60's. Jack Hewitt lives here in Troy and I have known him since high school. His son Cody is racing sprints now. I wish somehow Earl could have fit The 4 Crown in this year, it's one of my favorites!

[Silvercrown90]

Sounds great! I know Jack from Silver Crown, and I met his wife Jody at Phoenix one year when we pitted next to them. My brother, Robin, was driving the cars then...it was probably March 2001. I have never met Cody, but I wish him the best of luck in sprints. I understand Jack may be making a comeback soon. Are you planning to be at the Mopar Million? Sharon

I heard that about Jack, haven't had a chance to talk to him yet.
