Russ continued to run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and drove a Studebaker powered car to eighth place, the highest finishing stock block car, in the field. He took several second-place finishes in other AAA races that year. Again in 1929 Russ had the highest finishing stock block car and was awarded sixth place at Indy. Hupmobile made a deal with Snowberger to install one of their engines in his car. It was with this combination, the "Hupcomet" that Russ drove to a fifth-place finish at Indy in 1932. With consistent finishes the rest of the season he finished in fourth place in national AAA points the same place he finished in 1930 and 1931. He sat on the pole for the 1931 race. The following year Snowberger reverted to his old Studebaker engine. Late in the year Russ won dirt track races on the half miles at Saginaw and Davidson, Michigan. In 1934 Russ Snowberger captured eighth place at Indy and this was the fifth consecutive year that he finished in the top ten at Indy. He finished the year in third place in the national point standings for AAA. This was also the year when Russ became a charter member of the Champion 100 Mile Club and Hour Club.
