I saw Tommy Hennershitz do that on a regular basis - except he did it on a dirt oval. He would go to the top, up in the marbles, and blow by the whole field. It was awsome for a young boy like me to see. My dad has an old 8mm film somewhere of him doing just that at New Bremen in the Miracle Power Special.

I remember George Snider doing that in the semi at a summertime Terre Haute show back in the mid-70s. Did it 3 times (the 1st 2 were waved-off by another car spinning out). He was driving the red #98 AJ Watson Offy-powered car...
