And, help me if I'm wrong, didn't Doty win in it twice???
Kevin Doty won 6 USAC races in the Chrisman 25. 3 at Eldora, 2 at North Vernon and 1 at the Burg. He also won several non USAC shows. One that comes to mind was a late 90s Sheldon Kinser memorial at Bloomington where he completely obliterated the field.

It seems like Jerry Coons and Cary Faas both ran his car a few times also. Eric Gordon ran it at IRP once.
Doty won at Eldora in 1995 in the 25 and won 4 USAC races in 1998 for Steve. The cars were never pretty; but they had a whole lot of horsepower.

Thank-you. (I was WAY off...maybe he had won 2 of those in one year, as my memory). It was cool to follow - mostly via NSSN (other than Sun Prairie, we went there about every week) - what we all could, b4 the www took off...different times, thats for sure...

But ya, seems like Stever & Kevin were a pretty good combo for a few years! May they both Rest in Peace.

Wow! Can't believe you guys left out Johnnie Parsons Jr. and JacHaudenshild lol both at Eldora. Parsons at Eldora won hotlaps and started near the front in the feature but hit the wall and flipped on first lap. Doty ran the same car later and junked the Adkins chassis at Terre Haute. They went to Stealth after that and the car always had real painted numbers. I think Mark Alderson may have also driven the pavement car at Winchester one time when I was there but that is a foggy memory at this point. Kevin Thomas was in it at Santa Fe once. Always loved the 25 car and didn't realize he was so young when he started as a car owner! RIP
