The 2022 USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series was the 51st season of Silver Crown racing under the USAC banner. The season began with the Sumar Classic at Terre Haute Action Track on May 1 and ended at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park on October 22. [1] The entire season was featured live and on-demand on FloRacing.[2] Kody Swanson won his seventh USAC Silver Crown title.[3]
Schedule and results
[edit]The 2022 schedule featured eleven points paying races (with one special non points event and the 4-Crown Nationals night one being practice and qualifying only). Five of the points races were dirt races, while the other six races as well as the non points Thursday Night Thunder Homecoming were on paved ovals. The August 20 Tony Bettenhausen 100 was postponed to October 15th due to heavy rain on race morning, and the September 3rd Ted Horn 100 was postponed to September 5th, also due to rain.
