Thank you @TEIRacing & @USACNation for the effort to make #TedHorn100 happen. Patty Bateman's ( @SCracer55 ) car started 9th and finished 9th. @JerryCoonsJr was running a comfortable 2nd when a late race gremlin sidelined our effort.
"Straight Outta Tucson"
No driver in champ car racing history at the @DQStateFair has won the pole more often than @JerryCoonsJr.
Jerry has achieved the feat in 2001-10-13-17.
This Saturday night, he'll pilot the @SCracer55 where he'll aim for pole #5 & win #1.

.@JerryCoonsJr led 10 laps late and nearly pulled off his first USAC Silver Crown victory in eight seasons.
He wound up 2nd tonight at the #SumarClassic, his best Silver Crown result since a 2nd place run at the @BellevilleHB in 2015.
