A LOOK BACK: 2001 USAC NATIONAL SPRINT CAR SEASON
The 2001 USAC Sprint Car Series enjoyed a number of firsts, not the least of which was the driving championship recorded by Phoenix, Arizona’s J.J. Yeley.
Yeley captured the “Border Wars” title and feature wins at Attica, Ohio, Rossburg, Ohio and Kansas City, Kans. and was one of only two drivers to win in all three of USAC’s National racing series during the year. He ended up winning USAC’s “Super License” title as well, scoring more National feature event points than any other driver.
Yeley emerged the champion on the final day at Salem, Ind. following earlier crashes which left title contenders Dave Darland and Jay Drake on the sidelines for the season-closer.
Darland was injured at Eldora in September and Drake at Terre Haute the night before the October Salem finale, relegating Drake to second and Darland to fourth in the final standings. Both drivers were well on the road to full recovery by the end of 2001.
Drake’s season included a Sprint/Midget “doubleheader” sweep at Eldora and an “Indiana Sprint Week” win at Haubstadt, Ind., while Darland ended up as the Pennzoil “Indiana Sprint Week” titlist and won the “Robbie Stanley Classic” at Lawrenceburg.
Tony Elliott finished third in the standings with four triumphs, including one at Kokomo, Ind. during “Indiana Sprint Week.” Fifth in the final points went to Tracy Hines, who claimed the “Tony Hulman Classic,” USAC’s 250th race at Indianapolis Raceway Park, the “Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial” at Salem, Ind., IRP’s “Tom Bigelow Classic” and the USAC inaugural at South Boston, Va.
Other notables during 2001 were Jack Hewitt, whose career victory total rose to second all-time after wins at Angell Park and North Vernon, Ind. and Bud Kaeding, who captured the “4-Crown Nationals” at Eldora, back-to-back wins at Terre Haute, Ind. in October and USAC’s return to Joliet, Ill.
Series “Rookie of the Year” Ed Carpenter capped his season by winning the “USAC Sprint Legends Classic” finale at Salem, Ind., while A.J. Anderson was a surprise first-time winner in the Bloomington, Ind. “Indiana Sprint Week” feature.
Brian Tyler boosted the Dynamics, Inc. team’s all-time victory total to 50 with back-to-back wins at Toledo, Ohio and IRP, the Toledo win also earning him an IRL test from Hemelgarn Racing.
Derek Davidson and Jason McCord also posted wins, Davidson winning the “Glen Niebel Classic” at Anderson, Ind. and McCord taking USAC’s long-awaited return event at Illiana Speedway in Schererville, Ind.
USAC’s initial involvement in the prestigious “Little 500” at Anderson, Ind. was also a highlight and produced Eric Gordon’s third race win.

--------------------------------------------------
Eric Gordon of Indianapolis, Ind. became a three-time winner of the prestigious Pay Less/Delco Remy "Little 500" USAC Sprint Car race at the Anderson (Ind.) Speedway in a 500-lap race which started on Saturday night and ended just after 1 am Sunday morning. A rain delay forced the late start on the 1/4-mile paved oval. Gordon previously won the race in 1993 and 1998.
Gordon, who started second in the 33-car field, led only one lap before taking the lead on lap 352, but led the final 149 laps in his Pay Less Supermarkets/Jim & Polly Booe/Print Express Gaerte-powered machine. His victory was worth an estimated $38,500 out of a total purse of nearly $125,000. On lap 435 he passed second-place Derek Davidson to put a lap on the entire field.
"The car was perfect," said Gordon after the race. "I couldn't have asked for a better car in traffic. On the last stop we decided to put on fresh tires, and it paid off. I had a great team."
Dave Steele led 115 of the first 116 laps of the race after starting from the outside of the front row but slipped a lap down after pit stops. He unlapped himself from Gordon on lap 479 but was unable to catch him in the remaining laps, finishing 10.7 seconds in arrears.
Following runner-up Steele at the checkered flag were Davidson, Gary Fedewa and Brandon Petty.
Pole starter Jeff Bloom, in his 25th start, blew an engine after 337 laps and failed to finish.
Gordon's second and final pit stop on lap 281 actually won him the race as he beat Davidson back onto the track. Davidson had also pitted on the same lap.
USAC Sprint Car Champion Tony Elliott appeared to be Gordon's toughest competition, leading 114 laps before losing his advantage on a long pit stop for fuel at lap 320. Other race leaders included Denny England, Brandon Petty, Jason McCord and Gary Fedewa.
The race was slowed 14 times by caution flags but there were no driver injuries in any of the incidents.
