The United States Auto Club (USAC) has announced Tommie Estes as the new competition director for USAC Racing’s circle track division.

Estes will lead the USAC Silver Crown National Championship and serve as an advisor to USAC National Series Director Kirk Spridgeon, who will continue to oversee USAC’s AMSOIL National Sprint Car and NOS Energy Drink National Midget divisions. He will work directly with tracks and teams during a “time of resurgence” for the Silver Crown series.

Estes, a former sprint and midget racer, has previously served as the competition director for both the ASCS National Sprint Tour and the Chili Bowl Nationals. Estes also oversaw the racing operations at Dodge City Raceway Park in Dodge City, Kansas, for over 10 years.

“It’s a great asset to have someone to fully devote their time to the promoters, track, and competitor base to build up the momentum the Silver Crown series is experiencing,” Spridgeon said.
