Sadly, I found this on Facebook posted by Dave Argabright:
"Got a call from Tom Chalk that a longtime mutual friend, Steve Chrisman, died this morning after a long battle with cancer. Tough news, Steve was a fierce competitor who campaigned a sprint car for many years and was also a full-time farmer..."
RIP Steve

I have fond memories of Kevin Doty in the Chrisman red & yellow #25 kickin' butt at Twin Cities during Sprintweek for several years.
