Coons Gets 1st Silver Crown Win at Eldora Rossburg, Ohio....... Jerry Coons Jr. of Tucson, Ariz. led all 50 laps to win Saturday night's "4-Crown Nationals" USAC Silver Crown Championship race at the Eldora Speedway. The win was his first in the series in the Rotondo Weirich Beast Stanton Mopar.

Commenting on his seven previous second-place finishes, including one this year at Richmond , Va. , Coons said: “Those seconds were getting old. They were exciting but they got pretty frustrating. Staying in front of Darland makes this even more special.” Series point leader Bud Kaeding was 11 th and leads Neely by 60 points going into next Saturday's race at Kansas Speedway.
