P.S I think Spike told me Johnny Rutherford drove his sprint car too. I still have Christmas cards from Spike of him dressed up playing Santa...
We did talk about this at the Burg. Like you said, funny how things work out. Half of the racing people I know is because we were simply hanging out in a parking lot and someone would wander up and start talking.

As for JR, I'm honestly not sure about driving one of Spikes cars, but I do believe he used Spikes garage when he went to MN for the state fair. We were all surprised to see Lone Star JR walk into the service we held for Spike, said he had seen the obituary in the paper and wanted to come pay his respects. He hung around afterwards and told a few stories; really nice guy!
