Follow on Google News | Hmiel To Serve As “hoosier Hundred” Grand MarshalShane Hmiel, the winner of last year’s “Hoosier Hundred,” will be among numerous former race winners expected to be on hand
By: Track Enterprises, USAC Hmiel, continuing his recuperation from injuries suffered in a late-2010 racing accident, will serve as the Grand Marshal and will be joined by a number of former winners who will be in Indianapolis for the 100th anniversary celebration of the Indianapolis 500. Friday night’s 100-mile race will again be split into two segments, as was last year’s exciting 100-miler. The race will be stopped at 51 miles for an intermission, then restarted. Last year’s event produced unprecedented late-race passing, resulting in Hmiel’s emotional victory. USAC TRAXXAS Silver Crown Championship point leader Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. will be back to seek his first victory in the storied race after a second in 2006 and winning the pole for last year’s race. Friday night’s race opens the 2011 TRAXXAS Silver Crown season and could become part of a unique “double,” if Bryan Clauson’s aspirations are achieved. Clauson will compete in Friday afternoon’s “Freedom 100” Firestone Indy Lights race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, then compete in Friday night’s Hoosier Hundred, seeking to become the first to post victories in both races. Jay Drake attempted to win both in 2005 and posted respectable finishes in both races, with a third in the “Freedom 100” and a fourth in the “Hoosier Hundred.” “I’m not sure Bryan needs any advice from me on this opportunity,” --USAC-- # # # ARCA, IRA, NASCAR, UMP, XTREME, NALMS, USAC, WoO, UDTRA, AMA, USHRA and MARA Currently promotes several National Motorsports events annually Drivers and fans alike are familiar with Track Enterprises, Inc.
