One year ago, McDougal (Broken Arrow, Okla.) made an impressive Silver Crown debut during the 2018 4-Crown Nationals, starting 7^th and finishing 4^th. His second series start may have been even more memorable as he captured victory in the qualifying race, then charged from his 25^th starting position to a 6^th place finish in May’s Hoosier Hundred at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Saturday would mark just the third start of McDougal’s Silver Crown career after being the top Rookie finisher in each of his first two starts.

The Foxco Racing machine has a highly-successful history in the USAC Silver Crown Championship Car Series, especially at Eldora, where the car has won on four occasions, in 2004, '05, '08 and '09, all with Dave Darland as the driver. Last fall at the 4-Crown, the Foxco ride led nine laps and finished 2^nd in the 50-lap main event with driver Kevin Thomas, Jr..

McDougal will be pulling triple-duty in all three USAC National divisions at Eldora on Saturday. He’ll pilot the FMR Racing No. 76m midget and the Daigh/Phillips Motorsports No. 71p sprint car. He has been a standout on both the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car and NOS Energy Drink National Midget trails this season. He’s one of five drivers to win a feature event in both series this year along with Tyler Courtney, Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas, Jr. and Chris Windom.

McDougal's second career USAC Sprint win came in June during the Eastern Storm round at New Jersey’s Bridgeport Speedway. He followed the victory up with his first career triumph in USAC’s Midget division during Mid-America Midget Week at Nebraska’s Jefferson County Speedway in July.  He stands 8^th in Sprint points and 9th in the Midget standings.
