As a much younger man sitting around the infield of Springfield, DuQuoin were highlights for Me. Gary Bettenhausen was just aces in this regard. Stan Fox was also very social before his terrible accident at Indy.
They used to have big parties at Terre Haute as well after the races. Not in the infield but out back behind what is now the pit area. Several of the drivers and teams would break out the grills and coolers and a giant bench racing session ensued.
