Sheldon Kinser's nickname?

HardyBoysRacing · 3/12/12, 6:32 PM

My father is restoring a Sheldon Kinser and we need help finding any pictures of the late 70's Ben's Tire Clinic sprint cars driven by Kinser, Rich Vogler, and Dan Gurney. We are also trying to find out what Sheldon's nickname was. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

You probably mean Chuck Gurney instead of Dan?

I often heard Sheldon referred to as Little Abner, because of his physique, which resembled the comic strip character, Li'l Abner.

But he was disgusted with those who called a certain USACer "Mad Dog"

Guess it all depends upon who is friends with whom
