back to the original idea here for a moment...
Ron Smoker was from NY and drove a DOT truck. the year he won the Championship at !6th St. Speedway he was gonna come to our banquet but NY had a big snowfall and he had to do double shifts with a snowplow.
Joe Roush can be found at our annual Monte Carlo night party...doubling down.
& recently, at THAT, i spoke to a guy on the handicapped seating area (helping his father i think) that said "i used to drive these cars", i asked his name and he said "you wouldn't remember me, I'm will newlin", and i think i shocked him by replying Will "the thrill" newland? he still looks great but not sure what business he's in, just a story. bob
