Ticking away the moments that make up a raceday, these are the most amazing single performances that don’t really fit into any other category. These are the individual moments that were either significant in some form or fashion in a historical sense, or were moments in time that immediately established themselves as ones we wouldn’t soon forget from the 2020 USAC National season.
5. Cottle Closes 13-Year Gap Between Silver Crown Wins
Oct 28, 2020
Shane Cottle’s Aug. 9 victory at Selinsgrove (Pa.) Speedway not only was impressive with his charge from 23rd to 1st while overcoming several obstacles, but also because a new USAC record was set in the process. Cottle became the newest record holder of the longest duration between USAC Silver Crown victories. It had been 12 years, 11 months and 8 days since the Kansas, Ill. driver raced to victory at the Du Quoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds in 2007. The record prior to Sunday night was the nearly 10-year span between Ron Shuman’s wins in 1982 and 1992.
