I haven't attended North Vernon since they had their last Indiana Sprint Week race several years ago. I did see some exciting races there and some bizarre incidents. Most memorable on track incident was Jack Hewitt/Dickie Gaines in 2002 which left Jack severely injured. I'll never forget my first trip there in 2001 for Sprint Week when the drunk fell over the edge at the back of the track and had to be rescued by the track emergency crew. The races had to be stopped while this was being done. Fortunately, the Muscatatuck River was at a low level. I believe the drunk received only minor injuries. I've talked with many people over the years who remember the incident.
