The series began with the Sumar Classic at the Terre Haute Action Track on April 23, and ended on October 15 at the Rollie Beale Classic at Toledo Speedway. Levi Jones began the season as the defending champion and retained his title over Jerry Coons Jr. by a three point margin.[1] It was his seventh USAC title (along with five USAC National Sprint Car titles) which tied him with Rich Vogler, A.
