π‘©π’Šπ’ ✍️ Without question, Bob Hampshire was instrumental in two of the most dominant eras by any driver in USAC history.

Born on September 25, 1946, Hampshire’s initial success as a USAC car owner came with Jac Haudenschild, who corralled a pair of wins in 1982. Yet Hampshire’s most iconic seasons came in association with Jack Hewitt. In all, the pair teamed up for 22 USAC Sprint Car victories between 1985-1997.

That said, Hampshire and Hewitt’s success on the USAC Silver Crown trail was simply dominant. Armed with their Challenger Chevy nicknamed β€œGussie,” they annihilated the competition, winning all six dirt races they entered in 1986. In 1987, they repeated as series champs.

Officially, Hampshire is credited with 14 USAC Silver Crown owner wins, which once ranked as the most in series history. However, as a crew chief, Hampshire has orchestrated a boatload of victories with Hewitt at 6R Racing and 21 more with Kody Swanson at DePalma Motorsports between 2014-2018, a run which included four series titles in a five-year span.

In 2014, Hampshire was named USAC’s Chief Mechanic of the Year, and in 2018, his β€œ63” became the first number officially retired for use in the USAC Silver Crown series.

The People's Champ! πŸ‘

Dave Darland is going into the USAC Hall of Fame!

See his induction at USAC Headquarters in Speedway, Indiana on Wednesday, July 2.

Event starts at noon. Get your tickets now!

π‘©π’Šπ’ ✍️ One of eight USAC career Triple Crown champions, by the time he hung up the helmet in 2023, Dave Darland had amassed more USAC National Sprint Car victories than any other driver.

Born on September 4, 1966, in Lincoln, Indiana, Darland earned his stripes by becoming a force on the local Indiana sprint car circuit. In time, he’d take the USAC world by storm, capturing four national driving titles: Silver Crown (1997), Sprint (1999) and Midget (2001-2002).

The first of his 62 USAC National Sprint car triumphs arrived in 1993, and proved to be the first of his 115 total USAC feature victories (nationally and regionally), which also includes 30 National Midget triumphs and 14 Silver Crown. He’s one of only seven drivers to surpass 100 career USAC wins.

His 1,334 USAC National starts rank number one all-time as do his 797 USAC Sprint Car starts between 1986-2023. One of Darland’s greatest attributes is his longevity of success. In fact, Darland scored at least one USAC national feature vic-tory in a record 24 consecutive seasons between 1993-2016. All these years later, Darland has solidified his position as one of the all-time USAC greats, a status he will retain for eternity.
