A loaded field of entries for this Sunday’s 65^th running of the Hoosier Hundred includes the hottest dirt track racer in America at the moment, seven USAC National champions, 13 Silver Crown winners, a six-time All Star Sprint Car champion and so much more for the August 23 USAC Silver Crown date on the one-mile dirt oval.

Kyle Larson (Elk Grove, Calif.) has entered with Seam Michael Motorsports for his first Silver Crown appearance since the 2012 season.  His lone Hoosier Hundred start came in 2011, a 12^th place finish.  He’s joined by defending Hoosier Hundred winner and two-time USAC National champion, Tyler Courtney (Indianapolis, Ind.), plus four-time Hoosier Hundred winner and five-time series champ Kody Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.).

Also in the mix are USAC National champions who are seeking a first Hoosier Hundred win: two-time USAC National champ, Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.), 2014 & 2016 USAC AMSOIL National Sprint champ Brady Bacon (Broken Arrow, Okla.), 2019 Sprint champion C.J. Leary (Greenfield, Ind.), 1989 USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget king, Russ Gamester (Peru, Ind.) and series Rookie Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.), the 2018 Midget driving champion.

A batch of drivers who’ve won in the USAC Silver Crown division, but are still eying that first Hoosier Hundred triumph include the likes of Aaron Pierce (Muncie, Ind.), John Heydenreich (A.J. Felker Racing), David Byrne (Shullsburg, Wisc.), Shane Cockrum (Benton, Ill.), Justin Grant (Ione, Calif.) and Selinsgrove Silver Crown season opening winner, Shane Cottle (Kansas, Ill.).

Six-time All Star Circuit of Champions driving champion Chad Kemenah (Alvada, Ohio) returns for a second Hoosier Hundred start while 27-time USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car feature winner and 2019 Hoosier Hundred pole sitter Kevin Thomas Jr. (Cullman, Ala.) remains on the hunt for his first USAC Silver Crown victory.

The Hoosier Hundred has been held annually since 1953, with only a handful of interruptions due to inclement weather.  Today, it remains one of the oldest, most tradition-rich racing events on the planet.  Many of its winners have gone to achieve legendary status in auto racing with a list that includes A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti who are among the seven drivers to have won both the Hoosier Hundred and the Indianapolis 500 in their careers along with Bob Sweikert, Jimmy Bryan, Rodger Ward, Parnelli Jones and Al Unser.
