A LOOK BACK: 2004 USAC NATIONAL SPRINT CAR SEASON
After finishing runner-up three of the past four seasons, Jay Drake of Val Verde, Calif. finally laid claim to the Valvoline National Sprint Car Series championship.
Drake, who led the series standings from the second race on in his Tony Stewart Racing Mopar Vital Express entry, finished 74 points ahead of Bud Kaeding in one of the series’ most robust season, which featured 35 points-paying features in 15 states, eight more states than in 2003, ,in almost every region of the country.
The Californian posted four victories, including the season opener – the “Glen Niebel Classic” at Anderson, Ind. – and won three times on the dirt to preserve the title.
Despite his lead, Drake dueled with Kaeding and teammate Cory Kruseman throughout the season. Drake hit a proverbial rut during Valvoline “Indiana Sprint Week,” when he failed to finish in the top-ten during three straight events. Kruseman won two of those three, moving from third to second in points and trimming a 196-point lead to 115 points.
But Drake would not be denied. At Bloomington, Ind., he notched the first of nine-straight top-ten finishes, capping the streak with a win at Tulsa, where he lost a tire as he passed the twin checkered flags. Though he would not win again, he relied on finishing to claim the crown.
Kruseman picked up a series-high five triumphs, victorious twice during Valvoline “Indiana Sprint Week,” as well as the coveted “Tony Hulman Classic” at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track, Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill., and the Budweiser Oval National at Perris, Calif., where he collected a $30,000 prize.
Kruseman wasn’t the only driver to pick up a big paycheck. Kevin Huntley won $50,000 for his victory in the “Mopar Thunder” at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, while Kaeding’s “Western World” victory at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix, Ariz. netted him $15,500. Kaeding also won at Attica, Ohio and Terre Haute.
Bobby East was spectacular on the pavement. Though he ran only eight times, he picked up five feature victories – including USAC’s first sprint race at the Music City Motorplex in Nashville, Tenn. Since 1959. East also won in Indianapolis, Anderson, Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Toledo, Ohio. East’s Nashville win gave him a chance to run for $20,000 in a non-points race in the twin 77-lap event, but he finished second on the 5/8-mile oval.
Previous series champions J.J. Yeley and Tracy Hines ran limited schedules due to their involvement in NASCAR but won twice each; Yeley winning a sprint car race at Terre Haute after scoring a USAC midget win earlier in the day at the Milwaukee Mile. Dave Steele and Jon Stanbrough also won twice. Steele swept sprint/midget doubleheaders at Fountain, Colo. And Salem, Ind., and also captured a non-points race at Nashville, the second of the two 77-lappers. Stanbrough won at Lawrenceburg, Ind. during Indiana Sprint Week and at Woodstock, Ga., USAC’s first dirt race in the Peach State since 1957.
Co-Rookie of the Year with Josh Ford, fellow Californian Josh Wise was one of five drivers to capture their first series victories, as he won at Memphis, Tenn. and Lima, Ohio. Others included “Most Improved Driver” Dickie Gaines in the “4-Crown Nationals,” Levi Jones at Charlotte, N.C., and Rip Williams and Mike Kirby at Perris.
Veterans Tony Elliott and Jason McCord, who led the points after the first race, kept the young guys at bay from time to time, winning in Missouri and Virginia respectively. Kevin Briscoe showed hometown pride when he won at Bloomington during Indiana Sprint Week. Eric Gordon won a record sixth “Little 500” title, tabbed a special event, at Anderson during Memorial Day weekend.
Jones edged Gaines by two points during “Indiana Sprint Week” for the six-race championship, despite neither winning a race.
Hoffman Racing secured its eighth car owner’s championship, utilizing eight different drivers in its famous No. 69 machine.
