- Sutter, California's Logan Seavey is building an impressive resume for himself, one that includes back-to-back Chili Bowl championships plus USAC national titles in Midget and Silver Crown competition. Add the USAC sweep in Silver Crown, Sprints and Midgets at Eldora in 2023, an ARCA stock car victory on the DuQuoin Mile Dirt and a POWRi championship in 2017, and you have one of the most noteworthy resumes in open wheel competition today. And get ready to add some dirt late model racing in 2024 to his busy schedule which already includes some 130 race events this year alone. In this year's Rollie Beale Classic at Toledo Speedway, please enjoy and in-depth interview with Seavey coincides and conversations with Taylor Ferns and 7-time USAC Silver Crown Series champion Kody Swanson, who on this day set yet another all-time USAC record with his 6th straight Silver Crown victory at Toledo...all that and much more! Thanks for your support of the History Mystery Man...
He is a tremendous talent!
Absolutely...one of the best, currently. Thanks Greg...HMM
Thanks Don for giving us a look at Logan. I've been curious about him. Hard to be disappointed in Cody Swanson ' s win.
Great interviews , action and editing ! Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.
You got it Robert. Logan is definitely one to watch. Speaking of watching, I always appreciate your viewership...you've been on this ride from the start...and I'm grateful. HMM
While I enjoy your "lake" videos during the winter, I always look forward to the summer when you take us along on your trips to the race tracks. You were able to get us some interesting conversations with Logan, Taylor and . Even though drivers are often busy on race day, you are obviously knowledgeable about racing as well as the person you are talking to, and as a result, they are willing to take some time with you.(As soon as I saw the two police officers, I knew you would thank them for their service -- you're always considerate enough to take the time to do that.)
Thanks again, wideslammer; I've been hoping to hear from you...been awhile. Your feedback is amazing, and it always encourages me to keep going, even when I don't feel like it. You rock! HMM
What a moving story about the young feller, Logan...so happy for him ...great interviews with all those gents.. Thank you for sharing with us HMM, take care feller...see ya later 👍👍👊
Thanks again, Elroy; I always appreciate your input/feedback. HMM
You take us where we really can't get to ourselves, in that enjoying life with these racers brings a neat dimension. The passion these people have for their sport is astounding!!
Thanks...love your feedback...helps keep me inspired to keep going. Thanks for your support! HMM
Thank you for bringing the racing coverage! I grew up going to races at Toledo Speedway from way back in the 70s! My son was able to win a go kart championship when they had go karts running the quarter-mile! Always love Toledo Speedway!!! Thanks again for the history!
Thanks again, Bill. Being a Toledo guy, Toledo Speedway was also my stompin' grounds since the late 60s. I remember go-karts running out there. The USAC Sprint Car races in the 70s were always standing room only! HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan I remember going to the The track many times and watching Joy Fair and Joe Rutman!
@@billdittman680 Now those were the days! Two icons of the sport! HMM
I will be attending this event also. Can’t wait.
Love watching a Sutter boy do good!!
Greetings from Marysville
Hey there Marysville! Are you talking Marysville, Ohio? Thanks...HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan Marysville CA. a neighboring town to Sutter. New subscriber here, My dad built a few sprint car engines back in the '50's.
@@JDMc2.0 Awesome...thanks. I'm glad you're here. Stop by anytime...appreciate your support. HMM
YEAH ! HHM back at the track. Love the silver crown cars
Thanks again, Steven! I appreciate your feedback each and every time. HMM
Great racing video and interviews ! Thanks for the video / edit work.
You're always welcome; thanks again! HMM
Outstanding Don. 🎬 👍👍
Thanks again! Always appreciated. HMM
Great video! Thank you very much
You're welcome very much...thanks DJ! HMM
What a great story! There’s a young guy who’s definitely going places. Best of luck to you Logan 🍀 And to you Taylor on getting the checkered flag 🏁 on the Bar exam when that rolls around for you. Oops forgot to wish Kody good luck (although he already seems to have that in the bag lol). Thanks HMM. Great video!
Thanks again critterscute3642; it's nice to hear from you on the racing side of things. Your perspective on the world is always interesting. Seavey, Ferns and Swanson...all classy folks with bright futures. HMM
Back at the track HMM!
Great interviews, as always.
Looking forward to your travel this race season.
Thank you
You're welcome Roger! Thanks for going along for the ride again and again. HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan it's a pleasure!
flash back to running around the 1/4 to 1/2 mile short tracks here in Southern Ontario
Glad to bring you that flashback! Thanks again...HMM
Don, this was a very, very fine video. You brought neat insight to 3 drivers. I now know a great deal more about each of them thanks to you. I am aware of your connection to Rollie Beale, so I wasn't suprised to see you attend this race. In fact, as I watched it on Flo, I noticed you in the pits!
Makes me even more anxious to watch the Eldora 4-Crown again this year. Go Logan!
Again, what a great video. Extremely well done Don!
Thanks again, Chuck! Rollie was my AJ Foyt growing up...one of those "bigger than life" heroes/characters. Seavey is one awesome dude! See you at the Big E! HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan If the weather will cooperate, I plan to attend night 2 (Saturday) of Let's Race Two at Eldora for the WOO. If our paths don't cross there, I'm more than certain we will run into each other at some point in the year.
@@chuckg6039 I'll look forward to it!
Nice guy. Met him at Bridgeport Speedway last year. The event got rained out but the guys stuck around and gave the fans a chance to meet them. Love my USAC 🇺🇸🏁
Jerry Coons ran my friend's car #24. Other local is #31 Dave Berkheimer
Great racing video! We’ve got Sharon Speedway and the Blaneys in our back yard here in Hartford Township…. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks again, Daniel. Out of all the tracks I've been to, I've never been to Sharon that I can recall...I need to get over that way. HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan that would be great! They turn out some really good races at the speedway, World Of Outlaws would be a great one for you to check out, gets very rowdy with that event!😄
@@danielmcfadden1 I'm in for that one! Thanks Daniel...HMM
Another great video. Keep it up
Thanks again, Lyle...always appreciated. HMM
Thank you HMM for doing the interviews and posting the video. USAC is one of the best kept secrets in racing and anything that can be done to help promote it, is greatly appreciated. Sad that all 3 of these talented racers aren't more well known. Kody Swanson and Logan Seavey are both badasses that I would love to see in NASCAR or at Indy and I'm so excited that Taylor Ferns is giving Indy NXT a try (embarrassed to say this is the first time I heard about this).
You are lucky that you are quite a bit closer to most of the USAC races than I am. The only race that wasn't a really far drive was when they had the USAC Sprints at Weedsport, NY. Also seen the last Silver Crown race on the Syracuse Mile (don't get me started on that track's fate!). I haven't been to Toledo Speedway since Mike Harmon was running ARCA and seeing the Silver Crown cars run there in this video reminds me what a nice facility it is, and also by short track standards it's quite large and fast too!
Thanks again, Gregg. I'd like to travel out to NY sometime soon and see some racing...some of the Big Block Mods and such...and upstate NY is such a beautiful part of the country. Went to Watkins Glen with ARCA way back when. Kody and Logan are amazing racers...and quality men to boot. Oh the Syracuse Mile! I've been there...saw some USAC Silver Crown (Champ Cars back then) racing there in the early 70s. Rollie Beale drove for my dad and we would typically make one trip to Syracuse each season. Damn shame it's gone. Toledo is super nice...reaching back to 1960 when it was dirt...lots of cool history. Thanks for your support...HMM
Another great video. You're a good interviewer. I've been following Logan's career for a long time, and I had no idea he ever had a heart condition.
So many thanks! HMM
HMM, as always, another amazing video. Thank you.
You're welcome; thanks again, Birtech77...HMM
The way you present these videos, particularly the motor sports and Great Lakes shipping content, you bring a level of knowledge and insight that many simply don’t possess. Hearing those engines….Winter’s out of here for the season, yee haa….
Good to have you back bowslap; your feedback helps keep me going. Thanks again, my friend...HMM
Great interview. I enjoyed our talk at Kokomo last night!
Thanks Dave; I appreciate you. Definitely look me up at the next track. We'll spend even more time hanging out! HMM
Hard not to like Logan Seavey! I bought a shirt off his website a couple of years ago. When I opened the package it had a thank you note with my name and his signature. Pretty classy! Thanks for another excellent video HMM!! Oh, Kristy Bemmes is the best when it comes to victory lane interviews! CJ is a lucky guy
Thanks for your feedback...so appreciated. That's super cool...sending back his signature with a thank-you note...super nice touch. Kristy Bemmes...was that the gal doing the interview in victory lane at Toledo? Who is CJ? HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan Kristy is engaged or married to CJ Leary. She definitely knows racing!
@@The1jonnyz Got it...thanks. I'm going to assume that she was the interviewer in victory lane at Toledo.
Such a great track. Wish i gad realised that years ago when it woulda been easy for me to get over there .
And great stories throughout the vid. As is standard on this channel.
Thanks Ron...always appreciated. Where did you move off to? HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan I still live east of grand rapids. It's just that finances and health keep me closer to home these days.
@@ronfox5519 Understood. Prayers for you...for improved health from the History Mystery Man...
@HistoryMysteryMan
Much appreciated.
I was at that race an amazing race!!
Yeah...those Crown cars are the coolest! Thanks...HMM
sevey is a fast up and commer in just a few seasons, but hes always a foil to my favorite drivers more often then not, I prob dont give him a fair shake, but hes done no easy feat at eldora at the 4 crowns, and chili bowl a heart condition thats crazy, but I guess superman guys are still human too, to me hes too good maybe too good and I stated so at the 4 crowns, after getting his autography and he asked me who my drivers were I stated and he said jokingly I hope " yea well I hope beat them, no I hope I waste them or something out there or something like that.
sevey is right the silver crown series is a whole season there are some very powerful dirt and very good pavement specialests out there, santos, swanson, roarig is in the mix when he races, grant and leary are good, ferns bryson and bischak are always fast
Good to hear from you again, manga12. Seavey went through a lot in terms of his health and seems to be making the most of his opportunities. 2-time Chili Bowl champ is huge...so hard to win that race even once, even for the very best drivers. Thanks for your feedback...good to have you back. HMM
My great nephew
Logan Seavey is a class act! Thanks...HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan Absolutely!
