For those who had the pleasure of watching one of Indiana's all time great race drivers - Dick Good of Mishawaka, Indiana. On the 4th of July 1959, Dick Good won a supermodified race at Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, Michigan. He was fast qualifier at 15.79 out of a field of 37 supermod's. He won Heat 1, the Pursuit, and the Feature.
Indiana's Dick Good won 13 features at Jackson Motor Speedway, Michigan in 1959 - including 11 in a row.
NOTE: A $200 bounty was put on Dick Good to anyone who could beat him if he started the feature. The bounty was collected by an upcoming 'hot shoe' who would go on to win the Indy 500 2x's - Gordon Johncock.
Dick Good and Gordon Johncock are two of America's greatest all time racing veterans, champions and legends - JMO.
A special thank you to Marty Blume for researching and compiling the above racing information.
Have a Happy 4th of July....see you at the races
