There must have been exceptions to this rule as I was there when a 13 year old Jeff Gordon raced there. It was an ASCOC Speed Week race, maybe they allowed someone of that age to race and Earl went by their rules as they sanctioned the race. One thing I noticed about Jeff at this race and the other Speed Week races that year was that he seemed the have a tremendous awareness of what was happening around him on the track at all times.
I still think it should be 16 or older to run a 410 sprint car.
