As a child race fan many years ago....

Doug Wolfgang, Shane Carson (won the 1st sprint car race i ever saw), A.J. Foyt and Jack Hewitt


As an adult driver/fan....

Tony Stewart, Jesse Hockett, and still A.J. Foyt..

Gotta pick Smoke as my overall #1, even though he's my age. I guess he should be one of my heroes as a kid as well because the year I started racing karts was the year he won the IKF Speedway Grandnationals with the underfunded operation.

I still have the "Karter News" magazine that had the stories/results from that race...wonder how much that bad boy would be worth on Ebay??
