1966 was a deadly year for USAC sprint car drivers. We lost Jud Larson, Red Reigel, Ron Lux, Don Branson, Dick Atkins and I believe Jimmy Davies was also killed in 1966.

Was that the same Dunseth car that has been on display at the Knoxville Museum? It is a two tone light blue car.

It is not. The two-tone blue car is a clone of the Greg Weld sprinter. The car Jud Larson was killed in is painted as the Cheesman 25. If you want more info PM me.
