A LOOK BACK: 1998 USAC NATIONAL SPRINT CAR SEASON
Tony Elliott of Kokomo, Ind., long a bridesmaid in USAC competition, finally found the throne in 1998, winning the Stoops Freightliner National Sprint Car championship.
Elliott battled Kevin Thomas for most of the season and eventually finished with a 62-point margin after taking the lead for good with a fifth-place finish in September at Indianapolis Raceway Park.
Elliott actually won the series opener at Beaver Dam, Wisc. in his Wynn’s/Jeff’s Jam It in Storage Special and added wins in the “Larry Rice Classic” at Bloomington, the “Vince Osman Classic” at Kokomo (1 of 2 at Kokomo) and the “Jim Hurtubise Classic” at Terre Haute. His August Kokomo triumph was worth over $8,000.
Thomas only found victory lane once, at Attica, but added 25 other top-12 finishes.
Derek Davidson, third in the final standings, scored his first two career USAC triumphs, during “Indiana Sprint Week” at Paragon, Inc. and later in a spectacular 30-lapper at Red Hill.
Fourth-ranking Dave Darland beat Elliott by a single point to win the Pennzoil “Indiana Sprint Week” title after winning the “Danny Milburn Classic” opener at Lawrenceburg and the closer at Putnamville. He also won at Eldora in May.
Two-time series champ Brian Tyler beat new all-time speed record holder Dave Steele on the final turn to win at Phoenix in April, then added wins at Lakeside, Winchester and Salem. Steele, who timed in at a record 144.167 mph at Phoenix, won the Winchester “Oldtimers” and “Sammy Sessions” features.
Kevin Doty earned the Hoosier Tire “Most Improved Driver” award with stunning early-season performances and victories in the “Don Branson/Jud Larson Classic” at Eldora, the “Robbie Stanley Classic” at Lawrenceburg, the “Indiana Sprint Week” race at North Vernon and a second time at Eldora.
Jason McCord and Brad Armstrong earned first career victories at Anderson and Winchester, respectively, while Chet Fillip won the “Rich Vogler Classic” at Winchester. Cary Faas scored his third “Tony Hulman Classic” victory at Terre Haute and Jay Drake notched his first USAC Sprint win in the prestigious 50-lap “Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial” at Salem.
Jack Hewitt’s “4-Crown Nationals” sweep was absolutely awesome, and Tracy Hines earned the True Value “Rookie of the Year” award for his success, including a pair of feature wins at Indianapolis Raceway Park.
Brad Fox also captured a feature during the season, at Putnamville.
Series veteran Brian Hayden surprised many with his comeback from burns suffered at Winchester early in the year to post 10 top-ten finishes.
