August 25, 2025-DuQuoin, IL-Two-time Ted Horn 100 winner Shane Cockrum was beside himself after the Hans Lein #97 Silver Crown championship car was hauled away on a hook during practice for the August 16 Bettenhausen 100 at Springfield.  Cockrum had entered turn one at speed when the front end washed out and the car slid into the outside concrete and a series of flips ensued.  Fortunately, the “Chief” wasn’t hurt but the car, a potential winner, was done for the day.  Cockrum and the Lein team will be one of the contenders in the upcoming Ted Horn 100 at DuQuoin, joined on the team by veteran Ken Schrader.
