Tyler Courtney has been a dominant force at Eldora Speedway over the past two years.

Watch 2019 USAC Silver Crown-Sprints-Midgets @ Eldora Speedway LIVE

Since the Silver Crown race in September of 2017, Courtney has won five of the eight USAC National events held at the famed Rossburg, Ohio half-mile. That includes going two-for-two in a sprint car this year. He also won three of the four 4-Crown races in three different classes since that point.

Courtney (Indianapolis, Ind.) won the Silver Crown night cap in 2017, then was victorious in the midget and sprint portions of the 2018 running of the event. The current USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point leader was particularly dominant in the midget in 2018. He swept the evening’s card by collecting the fastest time, the heat win, and leading the final 16 laps of the night’s 25-lap feature to score the victory.

Rico Abreu returns to the seat of a USAC Midget car for the 4-Crown where he’s a two-time winner of the series. Those wins came in 2013 and 2016. The 2014 USAC National Midget titlist from St. Helena, Calif. leads a six-driver Keith Kunz Motorsports/Curb-Agajanian lineup along with defending series champ Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) who charged from 13^th to a 3^rd place finish in his Eldora Midget debut a year ago.  Sweet Springs, Mo. winner Tanner Carrick (Lincoln, Calif.) was 5^th at Eldora last year while Tucker Klaasmeyer (Paola, Kans.) won his heat race and took 7^th in the feature. Meanwhile, KKM teammates Jesse Colwell (Red Bluff, Calif.) and Holley Hollan (Broken Arrow, Okla.) will make their first appearances at Eldora.

No driver has won more USAC National Midget feature events at Eldora than Dave Darland, who’s tied with Rich Vogler at five. A pair of those five midget wins have come during the 4-Crown Nationals in 1999 and 2004. He will drive the Petry Motorsports No. 15 as a teammate to Jerry Coons, Jr., the two-time USAC National Midget champ, who possesses a 4-Crown midget win at Eldora in 2010. Coons (Tucson, Ariz.) has also won three times at Eldora in a USAC Sprint Car, and holds the one-lap track record in a USAC sprinter at The Big E which he set in 2006.

Kevin Thomas, Jr. is in 5th and tops all Petry drivers in series points. He has also scored a victory with the series this year, a spectacular last lap, last corner victory at Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway in April. The Cullman, Ala. driver was 4^th last year in the midget portion of the 4-Crown.

Justin Grant will be pulling triple-duty in the three USAC classes at the 4-Crown, including in the RAMS Racing No. 4A midget. He finished 2^nd last year after leading the opening nine laps of the feature. He’s already been in victory lane once this year in USAC competition, at Gas City I-69 Speedway in June.

Chris Windom, who sits in second in the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship standings, is three times a 4-Crown winner. He's won twice in a Silver Crown car in 2013 and 2016 and in a sprint car in 2013, but not yet in a midget. The four-time overall Eldora USAC winner (2 Silver Crown, 2 Sprint) from Canton, Ill. earned his first two career wins in a USAC Midget car this year, at Lawrenceburg Speedway and Pennsylvania’s Grandview Speedway.

Zeb Wise, who is fresh off his BC39 victory, is coming in as one of the hottest drivers in the series. He won his heat a year ago at Eldora and is joined by Clauson Marshall Racing teammate and leading series Rookie Andrew Layser (Collegeville, Pa.). Layser will be making his second 4-Crown appearance. Chad Boat (Phoenix, Ariz.) was a recent series winner during Pennsylvania Midget Week at Path Valley Raceway Park. He’s had success at Eldora in the past as well where he lead for just one lap and finished 4^th in 2016. Jason McDougal (Broken Arrow, Okla.) was 9^th last year in his first midget visit to the high banks of Eldora.
