Marv, Rich, were there any others who drove both supermodified/sprints and stock cars? I miss the stockers almost as much as I do the open wheelers at the 'burg. Only guy from my home town that I see there is Orval Yeadon, though Butch's mom lived at Walesboro, just south of here.
Don Jackson, Richard's brother, was killed at DuQuoin during an open comp show in July of 71 or 72.

Ugly f'in crash.
