My dad, Dan Bowlen, got burnt there bad Labor Day weekend 1967 if thats what your thinking of. Sunday afternoon race that paid $35.00 to win. He raced for several years after that accident & won alot of races, 20 in 1973, & track championships @ Paragon in 1972 & 1973. Even sat on the front row @ The Little 500 in 1970, driving for Jerry Shields. Orville Yeadon, Shag Burroughs, & a modified driver from either Kokomo or Peru, pulled him out of the car. If anyone would happen to know who that modified driver was, please post it. I know he got burnt helping, so did Orville. Shag arranged for the purse money to be donated from the sprint & late model feature. That was $700. The next weekend @ Paragon they raised $500. If it wasn't for those guys helping, he wouldn't have made it.
