I liked it when they had special behind the car owner or sponsors name.

THE Tamale Wagon

I think Kent still has that chassis sitting in his shop. Would be cool to see it brought back from the dead and run 1 night!

Would that be "FECES BOX"? or somethin like that.

How about Harry Hyde's "FIDO"? A beautiful blue Indy Car converted to a modified (wana be sprint car) , Driven by Andy Hampton back in the 50's. They say that Harry was the guy in "Days of Thunder" before he moved down to NASCAR.

hey that's my line! :6:

how about Charlie and Mike Lloyd's Pocket Rocket...

Re: Best Sprint Car Names
 

Yes, it was Gene "Pappy" Henson of Paris, IL who drove "The Flying Eyeball" and that was the name I had in mind also as one of the coolest.

The Gold Deuce based in Metropolis, IL and driven by several top shoes at Haubstadt, was also one of my favorites. Larry Miller and Cliff Cockrum were among the drivers who piloted this car. Another favorite car nickname was "The Big Bertha" #22 that Larry Miller won so many races in. I believe Keith Ford still owns this car.

Ron I'm glad I still have some of memory left!!!

Anything ending with "Special" in a ribbon under the cars name was cool. Those were the day's.

We had another car down here it was named the "THUNDER MUG" it was a big old Hemi Chrysler with 8 Stromberg 97's on top and I think driven by Hugh"Leadfoot" Randall.

In the 60s, Diz had an orange 71 called "Big Iron", Gaines first ride with Diz. He later built a yellow 70 called "Old Yeller" that Gaines drove while Carl Williams drove the 71. They finished 1/2 many times at the burg. Leon Thickston later bought the 71 and changed the number to 72 and painted it blue. Diz built a new 71 that Don Nordhorn drove, don't know if it had a name, but it was orange.
