Just wondering if these racers are still involved in racing, Orville Yeadon,I saw him win the first Eldora 500. Allen Barr was second in one . I think Orville won it twice. Ray Kennens from Lafayette Ind. Another who won alot at Eldora and Limaland speedwy?

Orville passed away about 12 years ago, he won 1st Eldora 500, Alan Barr run 2nd in all 3 500. Ray Kenans past away 20 years ago or more in Phoenix

They're racing mini sprints at Waynesfield. Nick won a few races this year and Luke did pretty well also.

I missed the first Eldora 500 won by Yeadon, but attended the next (last) two. Larry Cannon won the 2nd 500 in his B4 car. Don Nordhorn won the third and last 500. Talked to Don about that race a few years ago when he attended the 4 Crown. Haven't seen him since.

Those 3 500 lappers, Alan Barr run 2nd in all on the same right rear tire, hard to imagine but it true ask him if you see him.
