Going back a bit more, I recall Frankie Mack driving a home made looking job, a yellow #12. This was before a few here were born...Danny Burton

That yellow #12 was built by a guy named Art "Burkie" Burkhart. My father, Bruce Stevens, drove for burkie for several years and finally had to quit to keep the family together. Shortly after dad gave it up, Burkie built the modified Danny mentioned above. It was built like a go-kart. The frame was spring metal and there was no front suspension. The front axle was welded solid to the frame just like a go-kart. It had a beer keg for a fuel tank. It had a 312ci Mercury in it (the same motor that was in the modified that my dad drove). For the most part, the car was very loose and not competitive but, there were a couple of nights when it actually ran pretty decent. I also believe that Joe Burdette (Brett's grandfather) drove it after Frankie got out of it. Burkie also had a brother named Jake and I believe Jake was affiliated with the Gutzweiler car that ran in USAC back in the 60's. I think Stan Bowman was killed in this car at Terre Haute. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.
