I dont know much about Brady Bacon but he seems to win a lot, in what the 410 wingless sprinters, is that correct. 

Has he raced with a wing, if so how much and do you see him seeking that opportunity or is he settled and happy where he is at?

What kind of success would he have as a full time allstar? Is this not the path Sunshine took last season?


Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

He's not bad at all with a wing on, he's just that much better with the wing off. Has plenty of experience running with the wing.

He's run with a wing plenty of times. I saw him win a Pa. Speedweek race at Path Valley, which I expected, because of his extensive bullring experience

I just checked, he's never won an Outlaw race

Some of us prefer wingless, especially people in Indiana. I like to see Sunshine win with the Allstars (more $$$), but I miss seeing him racing wingless sprinters & midgets...

Can someone verify if the 99 winged car was Brady's? I was pretty sure it was due to everytime I saw him out in it he was doing a lot of the work on it with a couple crew guys. He had a pretty decent amount of success as far as top 5's and 10's whenever he ran the Ohio tracks. However I am not sure how much the results success translates into financial success. It's one of those things where I am sure if a team like Sunshine's team gave Brady the opportunity he would do well, but not a lot of teams out there for that. It's probably a little bit easier on the wallet driving someone else's equipment in non winged, midget, and silver crown and if you have the opportunity on a weekend to break out your winged car then do so. He is a great driver and a great guy in the pit area with the little ones

Brady is a good driver, hasn't set the world on fire in winged 410s, and probably never will. He's got a good thing going with USAC, sells a ton of shirts and won another title this year.

That link says 126 wins in 2018. Is that even possible?

Those are ranking positions, not number of wins.

As a fan of Brady's I think he would do fine if given a chance on the All Star tour.  Wouldn't set the world on fire but might grab a win or two.  Similar to how Cap Henry performed in 2021.  Brady has a lot of ASCS experience so wing racing isn't a problem for him.  As far as owning the #99, I believe that was his car.  I also think (but don't know for sure) he now owns at least a part of the #69 car he drives in USAC.  It's still referred to as the Dynamics, Inc. car but I don't know how much involvement the Hoffman family still has with the team.

"sells a ton of shirts"...... tell me about it

He always has the best graphics. I tell myself to stop buying T-shirts but his are so good, I can't resist!

Sunshine was the Allstar Champ & I think Brady is every bit as good. Contender for the All Star title!

According to my friend "BrentTFunk", who's lived in Kokomo his whole life & knows damn near every person & fact about USAC wingless racing: "The people who worked on the Hoffman car don't maintain that car anymore. Brady and his guys do."

I think Hoffman team still owns it (Thats me, don't know why its italicized.... dadgum newfangled computers! wink )

"I dont know much about Brady Bacon but he seems to win a lot"

Its not so much the wins, as the consistency

Couldn't find the official list, but by my count, Kevin Thomas Jr. won the most USAC sprint races with 9. Bacon was tied with CJ Leary with 5, but got another title

Courtney is better. Bacon is good, but Courtney has the chance to be the next Sweet.
