I do not attend many wing races, so as a sprint car fan I always wished he run more of what I go to. I think the reason he ran the wing cars was to challenge himself. I saw him win at Granite City on the old half mile when he caught Jack Hewitt in the Hampshire 63 and passed him while driving a V6 for glen Niebel. It still ranks as one of the most impressive drives I have seen. That win put him in the point lead, and helped cement his Triple Crown. (another impressive feat) As for Eldora, I have been going there since 1982, and it has been a wing and late model track since then. It is Ohio folks. I have seen him help people without any fanfare, and has fielded non wing cars. I know he has some tough decisions to make, as any person who employs hundreds of people would. Hope he gets well soon, and wish him luck with whatever he does.
