The Silver Crown car used to have an important relationship with the Indy 500 and Championship car racing in general. The USAC Silver Crown car is a direct descendent to the front engine cars that once raced in the 500. Hence the longer wheelbase, outboard starters, big fuel tanks and 100 lap...

A modified driver by the name of Wes Moody was the first to turn a 100 mph average lap there. Ever since that moment, Syracuse has been known as "The Moody Mile". http://blog.syracuse.com/motorsports/2010/10/the_nickname_moody_mile_began_40_years_ago.html

This was at El Centro Speedway, California. That's Larry Clark #78 hitting the flag stand during a CRA event there in 1983. The driver, starter and assistant starter all lived to tell about it.

Belle-Clair is on MOWA’s schedule for Sunday, June 14th. Their 2015 schedule was just released today. Sprints have raced at Belle-Clair before though. In addition to the rained out 2004 All-Star event, winged sprint cars raced at Belle-Clair in 1999 and 1998. Both shows were held during fair...

With Farmington dark this coming Saturday and MOWA not scheduled anywhere, I’m hoping for a decent turn-out of winged 410 sprint cars for this show at Clay County. Per the track’s website: $1200 to win, $200 to start.

Weather looks fantastic for Friday. Clear and 77 degrees forcasted at race time tomorrow. Perfect. Thanks for keeping this show under 20 bucks and having kids 12 and under free.

The first WoO race at Devils Bowl was run without wings in 1978. The footage in the promo is from a 1984 NBC telecast. Nevertheless, it's still pretty neat. You can watch the whole show from that '84 Devils Bowl race here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i0UD6DsqN8

I’ve taken the I-44 exit 150/MO 7/US 54 route. It feels like you’re never going to get there. Plus I remember MO 7 being a fairly twisty road. It’s hairy driving back at night, especially if it’s foggy. Heard of others taking I-70 (Kingdom City exit/US 54) though Fulton/Jeff City/Lake of...

Looking forward to seeing winged 410 sprint cars at Highland. The last time sprint cars were there was almost nine years ago on Aug. 18, 2003 with the Non-Wing World Championship Tour sanctioned by the SCRA. Cory Kruseman was the winner of that event. Before that, you have to go all the way...

Lincoln is still hosting sprint cars (W410's) on May 11th. The show's just not sanctioned by MOWA.

Non-wing sprint cars at Haubstadt are the sh*t. Go there. You'll be glad you did. USAC is only offering show-up points to this one but all the heavy-hitters will still be there. No qualifying. They're using MSCS's passing point system. The heat races alone will be worth the drive. Heck, at...

Nice pics. Great show last night. Nice crowd, too. Hopefully USAC schedules a show at Grain Valley next year.

Hey Kevin, I have a car owner that wants to get in touch with you. Just got a call from this guy I know from NY who owns an East Coast “center steer” modified. Believe it or not, he said he read about you finishing second out at Sedalia! He went on to say that he was looking for a “good...

Congratulations to Kevin on your second place finish! From the proud members of the Kevin Horcher Fan Club! (East Central Illinois Chapter based in Effingham, Illinois). Wish all two of us were there to see it! Looking forward to seeing you race at OUR home track...WAYNE city! (And Kevin...
