Don's Crankshaft

Can anyone out there recall who drove Sprinters sponsored by Don's Crankshaft (Don Kemper) of Cincinnati? I know Doc Dawson and Junior Smalley did but have to believe there were others. This would have been from the mid-60's the mid-70's. Anyone know anything about Don Kemper?

Thanks troops.

I'll betcha Greg Staab spent some time in a Don's Crankshaft sponsored car!
It was probably Greg and his dad, Stan's Yellow #44 Edmund's Sesco. They were true racers cut out of a mold very few of today's young guns could ever fathom or imagine.

No doubt, it's Atomic. Sam Adkins #57 on the other side of Charlie McCann's #65.

Mike, Bud Frazier also drove for Don's Crankshaft back in the #46 days.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Also for those who don't know, Gill Hess died July 5, 1970 after crashing at Salem. To quote Kevin Eckert, "Remember the heroes".

Re: Don's Crankshaft

Jim Bob Leubberts spent time behind the wheel of a Don's Crankshaft car too. Don Kemper was a big guy who always had on a plain white t-shirt. Sort of an easy going guy as I recall.
