bobbyg45,

Was he related to Danny Bowlen? I remember him as a very competitive sprint driver, from the 70's Paragon, Bloomington, etc. scene.

RIP Steve,

Jerry

Re: ATTENTION!!!! Racing families & friends!!!
 

I've wondered whether this Steve Bowlen was Danny's brother myself.
Danny had a brother Steve who stooged for Danny when he drove other peoples cars and was the chief mechanic when Danny had his own operation.

Re: ATTENTION!!!! Racing families & friends!!!
 

Danny's brother is named Mike.
Steve has a sister [Donna Reagan] and a brother[John] living and a brother deceased[Robert]

If you read the obituary in the Bloomington paper it says his brother was John. Steve Bowlen was 59 years old. Yes he did drive a sprint car but not sure what number. This is all sad he was a good friend tous all. I don't know what number but he drove sprints from 79-81. You can go to luvracin.com under Paragon raceway in indiana and there is a pic etc of him under the street stocks #53.
