DuQuoin, Ill.--Shane Cottle earned his first K&N USAC Silver Crown victory Sept. 2 at the Ted Horn 100. Cottle, of Kokomo, Indiana, dominated qualifying and led all 100 laps of the race at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds' historic "Magic Mile."
Cottle averaged 112.75 mph to win the pole for the 57th running of the race. He held off late-race challenges from Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and defending series champion and points leader Bud Kaeding.
With his victory, Cottle adds his name to a Ted Horn winners list that reads like a Who's Who of American motorsports: Tony and Gary Bettenhausen, Roger Ward, A.J. Foyt (five times), Mario Andretti (three times), Al Unser (twice), Pancho Carter, and Kasey Kahne, to name a few.
Trailing Cottle, Stenhouse, and Kaeding in the top 10 were Dave Darland, John Stanbrough, Jerry Coons Jr., Mat Neeley, Ron Gregory, Shane Hollingsworth, and Levi Jones.
On Labor Day, Sept. 3, NASCAR veteran and St. Louis favorite Ken Schrader won the ARCA RE/MAX Southern Illinois 100 in his Federated Auto Parts Chevrolet.
After qualifying third, Schrader took the lead from Josh Wise (ERS Development NAPA Dodge) on lap 85 of the 100-lap race and gained his second consecutive stock-car victory at DuQuoin. Wise finished second and Josh Richards, in his ARCA RE/MAX debut, finished third in his Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet with Tony Stewart, his boss, spotting for him.
