ROSSBURG, Ohio – Jason McDougal has been named the driver of the Foxco Racing No. 56 for Saturday’s USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series finale at Eldora Speedway, the 38th 4-Crown Nationals presented by NKT.tv.

One year ago, McDougal (Broken Arrow, Okla.) made an impressive Silver Crown debut during the 2018 4-Crown Nationals, starting seventh and finishing fourth.

His second series start may have been even more memorable, as he captured a victory in the qualifying race, then charged from 25th to sixth in this May’s Hoosier Hundred at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

Saturday would mark just the third start of McDougal’s Silver Crown career, after being the top rookie finisher in each of his first two starts.

The Foxco Racing machine has a highly-successful history in the USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series, especially at Eldora, where the car has won on four occasions. Dave Darland was triumphant for Foxco in 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009.

Last fall at the 4-Crown Nationals, the Foxco ride led nine laps and finished second in the 50-lap main event with driver Kevin Thomas Jr.

McDougal will be pulling triple-duty this weekend, competing in all three USAC national divisions at Eldora. He’ll pilot the FMR Racing No. 76m midget and the Daigh/Phillips Motorsports No. 71p sprint car.

McDougal has been a standout on both the AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car and NOS Energy Drink USAC National Midget trails this season. He’s one of five drivers to win a feature event in both series this year, alongside Tyler Courtney, Justin Grant, Thomas and Chris Windom.

McDougal won during June’s Eastern Storm round at Bridgeport (N.J.) Speedway, his second career USAC sprint win. He followed the victory up with his first triumph in USAC’s midget division during Mid-America Midget Week at Jefferson County Speedway in July.

He stands eighth in sprint car points and ninth in the midget standings.
