when the ? of the day on hoseheads twitter from williams grove said roger ward in 1959, I thought that was wrong because I knew leaviit had won one in 80 or 81. I went back to USAC history and found the info you had here

Look at that field of drivers. Great racers from top to bottom. Damn, I miss those days of the Silver Crown series. Sure ain't the same now.
