Yes, Steve is for sure one of, if not the, best ever to sit in a sprint car. The IROC race he won was at Daytona. At that time, they never announced the winner of the IROC races, waiting till it was run on TV. I think it was Jeff Purvis who won the race in what is now the Nationwide series. In his interview, the first thing he said was “not a bad day for us ole dirt trackers”. I knew right then Steve had won the IROC race.
Nathan asked for pictures. I have one I would have liked to post if I could find it. Maybe someone else has it also. It is Steve sitting in the chute waiting to pushed off for his first ever sprint car ride. It is at Paragon Speedway in Dave Mitchell’s car and even still has Bobby Black’s name on it. Anyone else have it?
