The 4-Crown deal and racing in the 500 are obviously the pinnacle of Ol' Jack's career.

That having been said, I was at Springfield back in 1986 & 87 when Jack put a whoopin' on the rest of the field at the Bettenhausen Memorial to a degree that I personally have only seen maybe a couple other times.

The overall 100 mile track record for The Springfield Mile is still held by Jack & Gussie and was set at one of those two races and still stands even after all these years. All those dominating performances by Chuck Gurney in that beautiful Plastic Express car at Springfield weren't as fast or as impressive as those '86 & '87 a$$kickin's.

I was a fan of Jack's prior to those two races at Springfield but a whole lot more so after seeing them.

The deal at Eldora when Jack's harness became completely unfastened fairly early in a sprint car A-main may not be what you're looking for but is pretty memorable.
