If we are allowed to use names from the past, I would add Jim McQueen to the list.

You guys forget about "The Bopper"? Raced, designed, built, owned sprint cars for 40 years and still wrenching today. And oh yah, had the record for career feature wins untill a few years ago.

Here is a cool link and great article wrote just a couple weeks ago.

Have to agree with Aero on Davey Brown Sr. He has wrenched winners for over forty years from modifieds at Reading to Central Pa. sprints and all the touring series sprints. And the Fox brothers need to be mentioned here as well. They have run up a pretty good record here lately!:wink

I gotta add one to the All time list.

Bobby Allen, Not only wrenched his own cars, He built em and often gave advice or help to people that turned around and beat him with it.

I read all these names and I am reminded just how short my time around racing has been.

Rob Hoffman... Don't the Hoffmans have more USAC championships than anyone?

I have to give props to the guys that had patience enough to teach a computer geek(ME) the ins & outs of spint car racing....

Bottomline folks... if it weren't for these three guys my interest in sprint car racing would not be what it is... this website surely would not exist if not for these three... Brian Hayden, Danny Williams Jr. and Derrek Williams, While Hayden can't turn on a dam computer... I know that Danny and Derrek occasionally visit this site... Thanks guys!!

Where's the grease... I need to cover my shirt with it... :O:
