USAC Sprint's 200 Starts Club

There've been 39 drivers who've made at least 200 starts in their USAC National Sprint career entering this year's Winter Dirt Games.

The accumulation of feature starts were at the forefront of discussion in the USAC AMOSIL Sprint Car National Championship one year ago with Chase Stockon’s ironman streak reaching unprecedented levels late in the year.

Stockon’s overall start record with the series has climbed to 315, and by the end of 2020, he could very well be on brink of reaching the top-10 all-time.

Entering this season, Dave Darland has accrued 756 career starts with the series since 1986. He's far and away ahead of his closest competitor, Tracy Hines, a fellow USAC Triple Crown champ, who sits  at 484. Jon Stanbrough, who ranks 9th in all-time series wins ranks third with 448 starts, which is one more than Tom Bigelow in fourth.

Darland leads all active drivers, but in the final event of the 2019 season at Arizona Speedway, 2017 series champion Chris Windom reached the top-five all-time with his 400th career USAC National Sprint Car feature start.

Thirty-nine drivers have reached the 200 start mark with the series, including 14 drivers who made at least one series start a season ago. 

Those drivers are:

  • Dave Darland
  • Chris Windom
  • Robert Ballou
  • Brady Bacon
  • Chase Stockon
  • Kevin Thomas, Jr.
  • Bill Rose
  • Damion Gardner
  • C.J. Leary
  • Justin Grant
  • Shane Cottle
  • Bud Kaeding
  • Hunter Schuerenberg
  • Chad Boespflug
