He was before my time, but when I was a kid I remember seeing him in the pits with Hewitt & Hamp, they'd come hammering in last minute after hustling over from the Duquoin mile to catch the wing action at Tri-State..
The NSCHOF has a nice article about him here.. just scroll down to 1996 and he was inducted them, click on his name..
