I want to say Kevin Thomas (Not KTjr) driving the Able 04 in 92 or 93.
Also not possitive Leon Thickstun didn't grab another in there.
Not positive. Itsanonwingthing may know

My records match what Pat sent you.

that list looks accurate to me, and matches a list I sent to Ron Scheffel not to long ago. Roy Robbins may have won in 1958 as well, but not positive, there is supposedly a photo that Ron had see in Roy's scapbooks from 1959 that mentions Roy is the returning champ. Never confirmed though. Not sure on the '93 & '93 champs.

Kevin Thomas didn't drive for Pete Abel. He drove for Hank Byram & Rodney Reynolds in the 3R in 2001, 2002, etc.
