A frequent racer in the midwest during his career, he scored a 30-lap USAC National Sprint Car win at Salem (Ind.) Speedway on July 4 of 1968. USAC extends its deepest sympathies to the Spalding family and his many friends. * |

Re: Usac: Wib spalding, 81
I had the privilege of watching Wib Spalding race in USAC and in dirt track "super modifieds" quite a few times. Jerry Shaw is correct: he drove 444 every time I saw him, including the small 4 after the larger 44 on Spalding-Murray sprinters.
Godspeed, Mr. Spalding. :918: |
I was at Salem Speedway at my first USAC Sprint Car race when he won.
R.I.P. Mr. Wib Spaulding |

I think Petey had a Wib Spalding t-shirt.

Re: Usac: Wib spalding, 81
His nephew had Wib tee shirts, showing his many racing accomplishments, made several year ago.
I gave mine to Bubby Jones who raced with Wib for many years. |
