All Kody Swanson has to do is be present at the start of the night’s 50-lap main event, and that'll clinch an unprecedented fifth driving title with the series. Justin Grant is second, just 63 points back in the series standings. Grant could gain the maximum 76 points for the night if he were to gain the three bonus points for fastest qualifying time, along with three extra for leading the most laps and 70 points for winning the race to get him to 590 total points for the season.

However, the minimum points that a driver can gain in the feature event is 13. If Swanson were to finish last in the feature, he would still gain 13 points to lift him from 577 to 590 points. Though he and Grant would be tied in that scenario, Swanson holds the tiebreaker due to his five feature wins throughout the 2019 Silver Crown season.

For the Silver Crown owner’s title, the Klatt Enterprises No. 6 driven by Brady Bacon is in the driver’s seat of the standings with a 15-point lead entering Saturday’s contest. Of course, everything will be easier to sort out once the field is set following Friday’s qualifying session. But if Bacon finishes 3^rd or better in Saturday’s race, the Klatt team clinches the owner’s title and it wouldn't matter if Swanson and Nolen Racing earn maximum points.

Swanson, a 29-time series race winner, was 5^th at Eldora last year. The half-mile remains the only track on the USAC Silver Crown schedule that Swanson has yet to win at. His best USAC finish at The Big E came in a sprint car where he was 2^nd in 2015. Grant was 7^th last year at Eldora. He's won three times in USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car competition at this track, which includes a 4-Crown title in 2016.

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma’s Brady Bacon took 8^th last year in the Crown Car at Eldora. He owns two USAC National Sprint Car wins there as well, with one of them coming in the 2014 4-Crown race. He won the All-Star Sprint Car portion of the 4-Crown in 2016 too. This past June, he entered victory lane for the first time in Silver Crown competition at Williams Grove Speedway in Pennsylvania.

Greenfield, Indiana’s C.J. Leary was spectacular in last year’s 4-Crown Silver Crown race. He and  Kevin Thomas, Jr. swapped the lead seven times over the final 20 laps before Leary claimed what would become his second of his career. He'll be competing in the same DRC/1-Way Toyota that won last year's event. Only this year it has been renumbered with 10 under the DMW Motorsports banner.

Thomas, Jr. will be stepping into the Chris Dyson Racing No. 9 this Saturday. Thomas took the runner-up position behind Leary in last year’s race and is eager to score both his first Silver Crown win and first Eldora USAC win all in one shot.

Jason McDougal drove the Dyson car last fall to a 4^th place finish in his series debut. This weekend, he will drive the Foxco No. 56 with which Thomas drove to the 2^nd place finish at Eldora a year ago. Back in May, McDougal charged his way from 25^th to 6^th at the Hoosier Hundred at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in his second series start. Saturday would mark Silver Crown start number three for McDougal.

May’s Hoosier Hundred winner Tyler Courtney has been a dominant force at the 4-Crown over the past two seasons with victories in all three USAC divisions (Silver Crown in 2017 and both the Midget and Sprint features in 2018). The reigning USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car champ from Indianapolis, Ind. also won the pole for the 2016 Silver Crown main at Eldora. His run last year came to a halt after flipping on the eighth lap of the 50-lap feature.

Shane Cottle (Kansas, Ill.) led a race-high 30 laps in last year’s event and finished 3^rd after starting from the pole.  Alvada, Ohio's Chad Kemenah is a multi-time Eldora track champion who had his best outing in his third and most recent Silver Crown appearance, starting 4^th and finishing 9^th at Du Quoin.

Chris Windom, the 2016 USAC Silver Crown champ, has won twice in a champ car at Eldora, both in 2013 and in 2016, in addition to a pair of USAC Sprint wins in 2013 and 2018.  He was 22^nd after engine trouble befell his ride just five laps in during last year's Silver Crown race at Eldora.

David Byrne (Shullsburg, Wisc.) has had another solid Silver Crown season with a third place standing in series points entering Saturday. Last year at Eldora, trouble found him early on when he flipped his car on the third lap of the main event.

Past series feature winner Eric Gordon (Fortville, Ind.), 6^th in series standings, is poised to make his first Silver Crown start at Eldora since 2001. Mike Haggenbottom (Levittown, Pa.) finished 15^th in his Silver Crown debut run at Eldora last year and finished a career-best 4^th at Williams Grove in June. New Castle, Indiana’s Kyle Robbins, the 2018 series Rookie of the Year, was 9^th in his first run at Eldora in a Crown Car a year ago. Austin Nemire (Sylvania, Ohio), a veteran of all three USAC National divisions at Eldora, was 11^th in the Crown car at the 2018 4-Crown.
