Of all the drivers in this weekend’s USAC Silver Crown field, no driver has more starts than Eric Gordon at 130 coming into the March 22-23 season-opening “Memphis 100” at Memphis International Raceway.

The Fortville, Ind. racer’s lone win in the series came back in 1990 at the Milwaukee Mile and, of all drivers, has the best overall record at Memphis, recording a 5^thin the inaugural race there in 1998 and a 7^thin the most recent series appearance in 2004.

Aaron Pierce and Kody Swanson are tied with 93 career starts apiece and are expected to surpass the 100-start milestone with the series this year.  Only 18 drivers are currently in the 100-start club, topped by Dave Darland with 200.

On the other end of the spectrum, seven drivers on the Memphis entry list are categorized as series Rookies with four career starts or less.  Cody Gerhardt has four, Chris Dyson has three, Jim Anderson and Derek Bischak have two apiece, while Cody Gallogly has one.  Meanwhile, Jason Conn and Joey Schmidt are aiming to make their first career series starts.

On-track action at Memphis International Raceway gets underway on Friday, March 22, with pits opening at 10am Central, leading into a practice from noon to 4pm (Central).

On Saturday, March 23, the pits open at 8am, with practice sessions running from 10-10:30am and 11-11:30am.  Fatheadz Eyewear Qualifying hits the track at 11:45am.  An autograph session in the main concourse is set for 12:30 to 1:15pm.  Driver intros are slated for 2pm with the green flag for the “Memphis 100” set to fly at 2:20pm.

Adult General Admission tickets are $25.  Kids 12 and under General Admission tickets are $5.  Single-day pit passes are $40.  A two-day pit pass is $70.
