In the case of the USAC Silver Crown Series, these ebbs and flows have been extreme. There were rough patches, but in time the Silver Crown Series not only survived, it flourished. Thus, a new generation of Silver Crown champions made their way to NASCAR. Like the process of reviving the Silver Crown Series, getting teams and fans back to IRP has been a process. Last year saw a return to World Wide Technology Raceway where the Silver Crown cars were paired with the NTT IndyCar Series. Then, for the second year in a row the championship was decided in the final race of the year, but this time at IRP.
