I think the best Non Wing Sprint i ever seen was at the Old Lawrenceburg Speedway in 1975. They had three 50 lap races with odd even qualifiers in the first two 50 lap heats with the top 10 in each going to feature. Calvin Gilstrap the oldest there beat Danny Smith the youngest driver there by inches at the checkered. Calvin was second comming out of turn 4 but out ran Danny to the checkered. Will never forget that race.

The best sprint car race I have ever seen to this day took place on the small track at Manzanita in 1994. As I recall, it was a 30 lap feature and the top 4 battled hard and heavy, trading slider after slider until none other than Bob Kinser hopped a wheel and rolled on lap 20, while battling for the lead. Bob climbed out, looked the car over, climbed back in, restarted from the tail and within 5 laps was back at the front battling for the win. To this day I can't remember who won(Mike Boat maybe), but I will never ever forget the race.
