I did find that Rich had 13 total victories at Salem in sprint cars and midgets seven in USAC and six in All American and World Wide series. He had Silver Crown wins at Tulsa, Knoxville, DuQuoin and Indiana State Fairgrounds.

33 TOTAL WINS
19 Indianapolis Speedrome (1 Indy Midget 500)
4 Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum
4 Terre Haute Action Track (2 Hut 100's, 2 50 lappers)
1 Eldora Speedway (4 Crown)
1 Hales Corner Speedway
1 Hoosier Dome (inaugural)
1 Kokomo Speedway
1 Phoenix Intl. Raceway
1 St. Charles Speedway
Other than the two 50-lappers at Terre Haute in the Byrd 3, and the Phoenix win in the Wilke 11, all wins were in my dad's midget (74 in 1984, 1s in 1985).

The wins in the Byrd car, your dad would have been the crew chief too!
