Wow, Bob Carrigan! There's a name from the past. I don't recall if he drove the Mike's Grill Special but I do recall that he was very tough to beat at American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois. And, Carrigan was beating some stout competition, too.
In those days the Cannon brothers, Dean Shirley, Ol' Bub, Chuck Weyant and ever the One Armed Bandit Chuck Amati used to roll into Fairbury on a weekly basis.
At the time we didn't fully realize the level of competition we were watching week in and week out.
