Don's Crankshaft

HonkerII · 2/25/08, 6:58 PM

Can anyone out there recall who drove Sprinters sponsored by Don's Crankshaft (Don Kemper) of Cincinnati? I know Doc Dawson and Junior Smalley did but have to believe there were others. This would have been from the mid-60's the mid-70's. Anyone know anything about Don Kemper?

Thanks troops.

I'll betcha Greg Staab spent some time in a Don's Crankshaft sponsored car!
It was probably Greg and his dad, Stan's Yellow #44 Edmund's Sesco. They were true racers cut out of a mold very few of today's young guns could ever fathom or imagine.

Keith, I'd Say That Picture Was Taken At Atomic Speedway. That's Charlie Mccan's (steve's Dad) In The Background. We Alway's Parked On The Other Side Of The Pits.

No doubt, it's Atomic. Sam Adkins #57 on the other side of Charlie McCann's #65.

Mike, Bud Frazier also drove for Don's Crankshaft back in the #46 days.
