Since you were only 5 when Sam passed away, I will over look the fact that you did not realize Sam also drove Supermodifieds. Many mid-westerns would make the long tow to Oswego, N. Y. to race their supers, Sam was joined by Nolan an Gordon Johncock, Wayne Landon, Art Bennett and Johnny Benson Sr. to name just a few.
