Fordyce Racing “Teams Up” with former Winner

Kyle Hamilton, a former winner of the Pay Less Little 500 presented by UAW, will be competing in the September 12th Glen Niebel Classic at Anderson Speedway. The Danville, Indiana native will be behind the wheel of the Craig and Jessica Fordyce No. 4 for the 20th running of the event.

This will be Hamilton’s third non-wing pavement start of 2019. After a 23rd place finish in the Little 500 with Bob East/Terry Klatt, the team turned their attention to the USAC Silver Crown schedule. Hamilton competes in the pavement portion of the schedule while Brady Bacon runs on the dirt tracks. Hamilton was able to win his first silver crown race during the Dave Steele/Carb Night Classic in May. The silver crown team is leading the owner’s championship with two races remaining.

Entry List: 20th Annual Glen Niebel Classic

This is the second time this season that Hamilton has piloted the No. 4 non-wing sprint car. The car has competed at numerous non-wing races over the past three years, driven primarily by CJ Leary. CJ’s best finish came in the 2018 Little 500 where he finished in the 13th position. Chase Jones also ran one race for Fordyce Racing which was in last year’s Tony Elliott Classic. He finished in the 8th position.
