Saw that Danny won at Atomic Speedway in Ohio this past weekend. He has won at least one feature in all of the last forty three years.
This has to be a feat that few, if any, can match. Congratulations Danny. ![]() |

Very impressive!
I wonder about Sammy or Kinser? |

I've always liked Danny. Remember watching him at Bloomington when he skipped either his prom or graduation, can't remember which, to be there to race.

I'm not sure "The King" started racing that young... How about it Kinser fans??

I was the promoter at the 'Burg when Danny won his first feature at age 16. I believe Dick Gaines finished 2nd and gave Danny credit for driving a great race.

What an accomplishment! Congrats to Danny and hopefully he's got a few more years left in him to keep the streak going. I have always been a big fan and sometimes I think he's gotten a bit overshadowed by some of the great driver's of the period of which he was in his prime. Also, and I'm just winging it off my ever fading memory here, but his injury with his back at Sedalia, if I'm not mistaken, was a big setback when he was as good as anybody out there. I always loved his work without the wing too, as he was equally talented. I will say this, it's been a real pleasure to watch him work, and looking forward to seeing him race some more
