Daison Pursley's up for the lofty challenge. Not one ... not two ... nor three or even four, but five different divisions the zealous 20-year-old is setting his sights on this weekend at the expanded 43rd annual 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway.

USAC Sprint Cars, USAC Midgets and a 360 Sprint Car for CB Industries.

USAC Silver Crown for the Sean Dyson-owned, Sean Michael-prepared No. 9 champ car.

Continung his bid for Kubota High Limit Racing Rookie of the Year aboard the Buch Motorsports No. 13.

That's the Locust Grove, Okla., up-and-comer's ambitious and, in some form, unprecedented itinerary. For starters, he's already carved out his own sliver of 4-Crown Nationals history, albeit by default, being the first-ever driver to compete in five different divisions at the event because there's never been more than divisions at the 4-Crown (the Friday-only program for Great Lakes Super Sprints is a new addition).

"Hopefully we can be the first, the first one to attempt this," said Pursley, who humbly alludes to the fact he still has to qualify for every A-main this weekend. "Super thankful for the opportunity to drive let alone good race car and I get to drive five good race cars. ... They're really good race cars. It makes my job a lot easier. I really do think we have a shot at this thing."

When Pursley means shot, and when he thinks a little more ambitiously, he means wanting a shot at Jack Hewitt's lionized place in the 4-Crown history books — the Troy, Ohio, native whose 1998 event sweep endures as the only performance to date where a driver's won all four divisions on the final 4-Crown night.

Kyle Larson won all three USAC events in 2012, but Hewitt's all-time record remains. Pursley's capable of pulling off the would-be remarkable feat. After all, he won last year's USAC Sprint Car and Midget car portion of the 4-Crown, and he already has a Silver Crown win this year.

Oh, and he's driving the same Buch Motorsports machine that Justin Peck wheeled to victory in High Limit's portion of the 4-Crown last year.

"I explain to people, there's two weeks I really enjoy. The one being Chili Bowl (Nationals) in Tulsa, (Okla.), and the whole area there, and then the second probably being Eldora. There's no other track that really gets all four or five disciplines of open-wheel racing together," Pursley said. "Tony Stewart and Eldora Speedway, and now (Eldora general manager) Levi (Jones) with them, this event's only going to grow, I feel like. It's so cool to be a part of it and at the younger stage in my career where I feel like I'm racing everything still.

"I want to give it by best, absolute shot. I've established myself with a lot of great teams, I've been racing these cars all year long to give me my best shot with the crew guys and the crew chiefs I'm working with. I just think it's going to be a really good weekend. I hope everyone tunes in on FloRacing."

In his first full winged Sprint Car season, Pursley's developed his skillset notably well apart from the wingless cars he grew up racing, now finishing on the podium four of his last seven High Limit races. That span includes Sept. 20's first-ever High Limit victory at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., good for $30,000.

"I definitely think in the winged car as well, I'm just doing such a better job as a winged driver," said Pursley, the 2024 USAC National Midget champ who made the jump to full-time winged Sprint Car racing for the first time this year. "It's starting to slow down for me and everything. I'm starting to get more comfortable at the tracks at the tracks that we're going to and everything. Super excited to start building that confidence and continuing to build that consistency as well, too, of going to the half-miles, going to the little places and being fast on all of them."

A bright spot for Pursley this year has been his ability to time trial. In 41 High Limit events, he's set overall fast time on seven occasions. But growing pains are evident whenever dirty air is a factor.

"I would say that's the biggest learning curve, for sure. It's totally different than what I grew up doing," Pursley said. "Yeah, I think the car has been really good at qualifying all year long. Now I feel like we're putting a whole night together where I feel like I'm doing a good job at managing the heat race, getting in the dash, and starting up front is the whole part of the winged game, for sure. I feel like I'm putting the whole night together and it's allowed me to take those resources and everything and I'm learning there to transfer into the non-winged stuff."

In winning two of four 4-Crown finales last year, plus Friday night's USAC Midget prelim, Pursley thought in those performances he finally figured out how to effectively attack Eldora's wide, sweeping banks.

"Last year was like an eye-(opener) to me of how hard maybe you need to run this place and how just on-the-fence you need to be as well, too," Pursley said. "I think I was able to figure that out last year and kind of get comfortable with it and everything and realize that's what it takes to go fast at this place. It takes good race cars as well, too."

In five winged Sprint Car starts at Eldora this year, has a best finish of 18th in High Limit's Double Down Duels on July 16. He failed to qualify for July 19's Kings Royal and finished 20th in July 17's Joker's Jackpot, so there's still some figuring out for him to do in the winged machine at Eldora.

Even if he can't replicate last year's multi-victory 4-Crown or falls short of the sweep, Pursley's most excited to compete in all five divisions at Eldora this weekend due in large part to Jerry Petty-owned Avanti Windows.

"If it wasn't for Jerry Petty with Avanti Windows and Doors, I wouldn't have been able to jump in the winged car. Now I get to race with him really in a little bit of everything this week. ... Hopefully I can put them in victory lane," Pursley said.

"There's only a select few people who can say they can win anything," he added. "Maybe one day, my name can be brought up on that list."
