Best Non Wing Sprint Race You Ever Seen
 

I think the best Non Wing Sprint i ever seen was at the Old Lawrenceburg Speedway in 1975. They had three 50 lap races with odd even qualifiers in the first two 50 lap heats with the top 10 in each going to feature. Calvin Gilstrap the oldest there beat Danny Smith the youngest driver there by inches at the checkered. Calvin was second comming out of turn 4 but out ran Danny to the checkered. Will never forget that race.

New Bremen after the pavement had been dug up and returned to dirt. Can't remember the year....but Gary B, Bubby Jones and Pancho Carter ran three abreast the entire feature with Bubby running through the infield, Gary B in the middle of the track and Pancho bouncing it off of the walls..can't remember who won either:11: but it was an incredible race......the other, was the race between Parnelli in the Fike Plumbing car and Roger McKluskey in the Konstant Hot car at Winchester in 1963. Parnelli led the entire race until about 2 or 3 to go when he made one of his rare mistakes and got her a little sideways allowing Roger to slip by coming out of turn 2 and win it.......tremendous race.....

I can't remember exactly what race it was but it was my first time to Bloomington probably 86/87? But there were fifty of each class NW sprints and LMs

Bob Kinser won but him, Ricky Hood and Randy Kinser ran three wide that entire feature on that little bullring, Staab starting 8th was bouncing their rear nerfs trying to knock someone out of the way. Clean as he was he didn't take em out and took fourth.

Kamp 2009? ISW Whitt, Boat and Darland crossed the line together and nobody knew who won till they announced Darland

The best sprint car race I have ever seen to this day took place on the small track at Manzanita in 1994. As I recall, it was a 30 lap feature and the top 4 battled hard and heavy, trading slider after slider until none other than Bob Kinser hopped a wheel and rolled on lap 20, while battling for the lead. Bob climbed out, looked the car over, climbed back in, restarted from the tail and within 5 laps was back at the front battling for the win. To this day I can't remember who won(Mike Boat maybe), but I will never ever forget the race.
