Spotlight: Dave Darland Wins the 2004 Hoosier Hundred

Dave Darland hugs his wife Brenda in victory lane after winning the 2004 Hoosier Hundred USAC Silver Crown race at the Indianapolis State Fairgrounds.

This is one of my most favorite photos. I’m a big fan of Dave Darland, and I just love the way this photo captures the spontaneous joy of the moment.

One could say that the event, the first co-sanctioned by USAC and MSCS, was a resounding success and one can hope that more of the same is in the future. And if these events take place at Tri-State, the crown jewel of Indiana race tracks, nestled in the southwest corner of our great state, so much the better.   read more »
