Just received word that National Sprint Car Hall of Fame member Earl Wagner died this morning.He was a genuine dirt track sprint car veteran and left a legacy that will always be remembered. Rest in peace old friend.

My dad grew up in Iowa and one of his favorite drivers was Earl Wagner. I always enjoy hearing stories about him and all the other guys that raced at Knoxville and all the other tracks in that area. Weather he was racing super modifieds, sprint cars, or stock cars, there were always good stories about him. He will be missed my many.

Rip earl! He was a tuff hard driver!
