JERRY COONS JR. JOINS THUNDER RELIVED THURSDAY AT 8PM EST ON FLORACING

Speedway, Indiana………Jerry Coons Jr. is this week’s guest on episode 13 of USAC’s Thunder Relived, this Thursday night, May 7 at 8pm Eastern on FloRacing at https://bit.ly/3dzkF8Y.

Coons is one of the most heralded and respected drivers in USAC history as one of six drivers in the history of the club to win National championships in Silver Crown (2008), Sprint (2008) and Midget (2006-07) during his career, earning the tagline of USAC Triple Crown champion.

In addition to those accolades, he was the 2007 USAC Super License champion, having accumulated more points than any other driver in National competition throughout the year.

On Thunder Relived, he will sit down with show hosts Richie Murray and Kirk Spridgeon to review two of his greatest, most thrilling USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car triumphs: the 2007 Western World Championships from Manzanita Speedway and the 2010 Tony Hulman Classic from the Terre Haute Action Track, which are among his 43 career victories in USAC National racing, which began with his first series start back in 1987.

On the show, Coons talks about his upbringing on the dirt tracks of Arizona such as Manzanita and Raven Raceway in his hometown of Tucson, and his emergence as one of the greatest racers in his discipline.

Thunder Relived will take you under the helmet and in-depth with USAC personalities past and present as we revisit all the thrills, spills and the greatest moments from USAC’s vast Sprint, Midget and Silver Crown video vault.
