Ken Schrader torn up the track in their sprintcar.

Blackie was a self-made entrepreneur in several businesses, but his love was the coal industry, where he owned B.F.C. Coal Company in Southern Indiana from 1979 to 1992.

His favorite hobby for many years was car racing. His accomplishments included several USAC car owner championships. Midget Co-owner Championship in 1979; Sprint Car Championship in 1983-1984 and 1985. Silver Crown Championship in 1985. Some of his drivers included: Ken Schrader, Rick Hood, Wes Stafford, Rich Vogler, George Snider, Larry Gates and Mel Kenyon.
