Great post! Brings back alot of memories. My father and I raced at Barnesville from 85-92 for the Gold Cup events. Other than a few Southern Indiana State pavement races(I forget the name of the series) and Barnesville, we mainly raced dirt.

I remember racing at Barnesville with Sarah Fisher, Casey Atwood, Sam Hornish and a few others.

Dickie Wilson sure was a character. I remember he use to get on the PA system and holler for his "n****rs to come take out the trash and clean the bathrooms. As a young kid I had never heard anybody talk like that. I remember Charlie Sox saying to me, "son you're in the south now".

I also remember the track had a arcade and we always ate next door at the Ponderosa restaurant(not the franchise).......
