What would be YOUR all time feature lineup?

HoosierMikey · 7/4/11, 9:03 PM

Really tough with only 20. No particular order

Butch Wilkerson-Richard Griffin
Rick Hood-Jon Stanbrough
Dick Gaines-Calvin Gilstrap
Chuck Amati-Robbie Stanley
Steve Kinser-Sammy Swindell
Doug Wolfgang-Rick Ferkel
Bob Kinser-Jack Hewitt
JJ Yelley-Dave Darland
Jac Haudenschild-Rich Vogler
Greg Stabb-Sammy Sessions

Provisionals: Tony Stewart Jeff Gordon

It would take place at the old Lawrenceburg speedway or Bloomington speedway

Great Thread! Guess I go back farther. Names like Lennie Renfro, Ross Smith, Hugh "Leadfoot" Randle, Stan Bowman, Calvin Gilstrap, Roy Robbins, are names that I enter. Can you even imagine all the names that have been named going into a race nite. The Heats, the B-mains, the races just getting to the feature would be a Hall a Fame event. Thanks for the memory check! Tim Kelley

I don:t think I could get everybody I want on the line up even if allowed 40 spots. lol

Pancho should start outside third row he's use to that spot(invert). Some drivers can't drive ducks to water Pancho would just drive the water to the ducks.

Chris, your post compelled me to make two list, the first breaks all your rules except the time frame of 1960 until 2011.

Supermodifieds International Classic

Gordon Johcock Sammy Sessions
Nolan Johncock Johnny Benson Sr.
Art Bennett Nolan Swift
Norm Mackereth Ronnie Wallace
Ronnie Lux Lee Bliss
Bentley Warren "Irish" Jack Murphy
Todd Gibson Jimmy Shampine
Eddie Bellinger Sr. Nick Rowe
"Animal" Andy Brown Freddy Graves
Warren Coniam Johnny Spencer
Kenny Andrews Baldy Baker
Eddie Bellinger Jr. Steve Gioia Jr.
Doug Heveron Doug Didero
Chuck Ciprich Kempton Dates
Gary Albritain Mike Muldoon
Joe Gosek Chet Filip
Dave Mc Knight Jr. Pat Abold

For those of you unfamiliar with the International Classic they start 34 supers and even that number didn't give me enough room for all of the great super drivers I have seen compete over the years. Honorable mention would be Scott Martel, Chris Perley, Russ Wood, Mike Ordway, Mike Litchy, Dave Schullick Sr. & Jr., Jeff Abold, Tim Snyder, Joey Payne, Nokie Fonoro, Lou Cinconi, Doug Saunier.

From the above list Gordon Johncock, Sammy Sessions, Chet Filip, Bentley Warren, Chuck Chiprich and Joe Gosek all had the chance to compete at IMS, and "Animal Andy Brown went to Indy as a hockey goalie.

My second list would be a lineup for a Westerm World Champioship.

Dave Darland Jerry Coons Jr.
Jay Drake JJ Yeley
Rip Williams Tony Jones
Casey Shuman Charles Davis Jr.
Levi Jones Tracy Hines
Damion Gardner Cory Kruseman
Chad Boat Josh Pelkey

Wish I could still see a sprint car turn a wheel at Manzy!

Well lets take a shot at this. If they qualified its simple who is on the pole. Everyone tells me he was one of the best qualifiers they ever saw...

Don Branson, AJ Foyt ( their battles were epic)
Jan Opperman, Jack Hewitt
Vogler, G Bettenhausen
Darland, Elliott
Bob Kinser, Haud
JJ Yeley, Stewart
Jud Larson, Mario
Hockett, Clayton( speaking of epic battles)
Leland Mcspadden, Rip Williams
Ron Shuman, Kevin Thomas

Wow that is harder than I thought. Can we build a couple of B mains also for some more hall of famers???

Gregg · 7/6/11, 12:12 PM

In no particular order:

Gary Bettenhausen & Larry Dickson
A. J. Foyt & Parnelli Jones
Dick Gaines & Butch Wilkerson
Don Branson & Jud Larson
Johnny Rutherford & Roger McCluskey
Tom Bigelow & Sheldon Kinser
Jan Opperman & Greg Weld
Dave Darland & Jon Stanbrough
J J Yeley & Bryan Clauson
Rollie Beale & Robbe Stanley
Rich Vogler & Pancho Carter
Cory Kruesman & Sammy Sessions

This is today. Tomorrow I'm sure Jim Hurtubise, Leland McSapdden, Lee Kunsman, Jerry Coons Jr and Tony Stewart will find a way on the list.
