Brownsburg, Indiana (May 23, 2025) ……… Tyler Roahrig had done almost everything in his short but extremely successful career as Silver Crown in USAac Silver. Everything out of profit is.

In 12 career series, the Indiana Racer in Plymouth, the podium in Plymouth, starts six different times on the podium, including a second place in its first appearance of the career series.

But on Friday evening on the 68th race of the Hoosier hundred in Brownsburg, the Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park from Indiana proved to be the breakthrough, which he had enlarged over the years.

On the outside of the first row, Roahrig fell to third place in the opening round before he continued on the .686-mile oval. In the second round he was back in second place and then followed the five-time Hoosier hundred winner Kody Swanson.

Roahrig made the winner on the 26th race track and from there went from the field for the last 121 rounds of the 146-round 100 mile period to earn $ 15,000, and his first career national victory of the USAAC victory in his Newman Racing/Firstline Systems, Inc. Distributors ROCKET Fabricet/Beast/Jackson-Chevon.

“It is time,” breathed out Roahrig. “After the (April) Toledo race, I complained that we had done everything except one of these things. And man, it certainly feels good. It has been taken for a long time. I've been in the Silver Crown series for four years, but we didn't really racing so many races.”

The triumphal moment was transcendent over several generations of the Roahrig family. In 1973 Tyler's great uncle Dave Roahrig in Cincinnati, the Tri-County Speedway from Ohios, achieved a victory in Usac National Sprint Car in a rear engine car. More than half a century later, Tyler made it a priority to bring the name Roahrig back into the USAC record books.

“My great uncle is a large part of our team,” said Roahrig. “He comes to the racing shop every day. He brought me a lot about race and just taught me everything. A reason why I wanted to win a USAC race so badly was just so that I had something together with my uncle. It feels really good to have mentioned my name with my great uncle Dave.”

The rounds of 121 by Roahrig are the third -sided of every driver in a Usac Silver Crown event, which in 1975 only led the 164 from Tom Bigelow on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and the 150 Kody Swanson 2011 on the Toledo Speedway.

The day before, Roahrig had qualified for the pole position of the Little 500 on the Anderson Speedway in Indiana. He held the role in Friday, but at the beginning when the pole sitter Mario Clouser led the first round and Swanson checked the third start the next 25 after checking one and two under Clouser to win the lead in round two.

Since this special event was the longest marathon of the year in 146 laps, Roahrig was in the mental tug of war whether it is now driving at the top or the equipment drives a little longer and promotes the equipment before he drives longer before beating.

“It is always this battle of” I am too hard or I would like to exist if I can, “thought Roahrig.” Especially with Swanson. He is a kind of master of management, I think you could say. I wanted to take the lead when I felt like I was checking the race and checking the restarts, and it worked. He is the benchmark in this series and it is always fun to run with it. “

Roahrig followed Swanson until a hearty run of Turn two in round 26 created him next to Swanson. In round three, Roahrig had completed the passport and never looked back in every respect.

Halfway, Roahrig's lead had used up to 3.3 seconds when he repeatedly worked through the traffic and then only pushed the traffic again. At the same time, Clouser and Leary began to drive towards Roahrig. Clouser swept four in Runde 113 against Swanson in curve to win second place in round 113. In the meantime, Leary finished third with a sophisticated maneuver at the bottom of the fourth round from Swanson.

Roahrig had retained a 1.5 seconds for the next 20 rounds, but when he worked in Lap 131 through the cluster of the remote cars with Nathan Byrd, Kyle O'Gara and Matt Westfall, he was able to recapture his breathing space on Clouser, because he was able to protect the field with a shooter with no will to protect the field of will could get out of the will of the will.

“This car was only on one rail,” praised Roahrig. “I thought we were pretty good after the race last autumn. We had some problems, but the car was really good. We got pretty much back with the same thing and it was really good. I couldn't have asked for a better racing car.”

This means that when Clouser was baked between Byrd and O'Gara, while trying to put these two down a round, Leary used the situation and dived down to drive all three past and to bring second place in second place.

Despite Roahrig's leadership, which ran in three quarters of a direct (3.1 seconds in advance) and the time, Roahrig was a little concern when he discovered that Leary raced in second place. Not only that, he had shaved a full second of Roahrig's lead. But at the moment the sand was mainly empty in the hourglass.

“CJ and I tested the same day last week, so I knew how quickly he was,” joked Roahrig. “So I was a little nervous and I didn't pray for any yellow. But everything worked out. It is a relief for me to finally get my first Usac victory.”

In the end, Roahrig crossed the strip 2.74 seconds before the second running CJ Leary when Mario Clouser third place, Kody Swanson Vierst and Jake Trainor fifth.

In this way, Roahrig won the first driver to his first career race of the Usac Silver Crown during the Hoosier Hundred since Shane Hmiel in 2010, a race that took place at the long -standing home of the event, which Indiana State Fairgrounds Dirt Mile, took place.

Oh, what kind of night it was for CJ Leary when he gone from his seventh starting place to reach second place and reach his best career -Hoosier -Hundert -finish (2nd in 2020). With his effort, he earned the Inferno armor that moves the night.

It was a top flight night for Mario Clouser when he started the day by bringing his first career into the Usac Silver Crown Pole station. In fact, it was his first Fast Qualify time of the USAAC National since a midget event in 2012 at the ACE Speedway in North Carolina. With the Pole, Clouser collected a total of 1,150 US dollars for his efforts between Allgaier performance and honest ABE roofing. Clouser ended the event on Friday by leading his first career to the Usac Silver Crown Lap and then corresponding to its best result of the Usac Silver Crown with one third.

In just his second career start in the USAac Silver Crown, the series -rookie Jake Trainor was extremely impressive. The native of Massachusett was on the fifth +11 in the course of the 16th to get Rod End Supply Hard charger.
