In 1998, Troy's Jack Hewitt arrived at Eldora Speedway looking to win just one of the four features at the 4-Crown Nationals. He left with a clean sweep. The legendary nigiht still ranks as one one of dirt racing's greatest achievements. Columnist Greg Billing tells the story in today's Press Pros feature.
