Out of the 30....I believe 8 still race something. Critter runs winged cars and Sondi is with Billy Throckmorton this year

Marc Longworth now owns the Longworth #19 silver crown car driven by Dave Darland. Marc hotlapped and qualified it at the Hoosier Hundred a few years and got out and had Justin Grant drive it in the feature.
A.J. Fike is still running midgets at the chili bowl, a champ car at almost every race, and racing an ARCA car too. I believe his father runs RFMS. |

Jason Fuller has been running the family owned sprint car. Last year he finished 2nd in the USSA series points, set a new track record at New Paris Speedway with a wing, and finished 9th in his first time running the Little 500. He is married, and has two daughters. The youngest just competed in her first kart race.

Tim Spindler has been turning wrenches for Hank Byram's #3r/35 sprinter for quite a few years.

Thanks Everyone for your input.
The ones I put in yellow we have accounted for. I know Sarah had an IRL team and I believe had retired but I had not heard anything this season. I have seen on twitter where Tony Beaber is getting his car ready for this season. I always thought that the Fike brothers might be the ones to open up the pipeline to the IRL again but then I also thought Tony George would too. I know Donnie Lehman won several (now defunct) MARA Championships and I have see him run at Macon for Powri but was unsure if he has hung up the helmet or not? Gene Lee was from Northern Ohio I believe and remember seeing him race and win several times at Grundy county (Morris, IL.) on the dirt covered Asphalt!  The last 2 in white I'm unsure of. Although, I thought I have seen Sarah's cousin Jimmy on here before, so maybe he can enlighten us on her status. * Honorable mention* I always kinda thought the Beach boys would go on to greater things or be mainstays in the sport? I FULLY understand how expensive this can be running 1 car let alone 2. I have to give their dad/family a lot of credit for what they did for them. I sure hope they appreciated it. If nothing else, the life lessons learned along the way. 1 N/C - Newton Kevin 1105 2 N/C 77 Chinn Wayne 1028 3 +1 150 Turner JD 955 4 +1 160 Besecker Kevin 945 4 N/C 160 Parish Robbie 945 6 N/C 184 Baumgartner Dave 921 7 N/C 259 Westfall Matt 846 8 N/C 407 Spindler Tim 698 9 +1 457 Fike AJ 648 10 +2 491 Fisher Sarah 614 11 -2 526 Klepper Clay 579 12 +2 532 Kenyon Brice 573 13 -2 569 Welpott Travis 536 14 +2 572 Eden Sondi R 533 15 -2 577 Lehmann Don 528 16 -1 590 Longworth Marc R 515 17 N/C 604 Sawyer Jim 501 18 N/C 614 Gibson Gene Lee 491 19 +3 674 Boice Mark 431 20 +6 705 Fuller Jason 400 21 -2 705 Malone Critter 400 22 +3 708 Davis AJ 397 23 -3 715 Fike Aaron 390 24 -3 730 Lucas John 375 25 -1 765 Caruthers Roy 340 26 798 Hettinger Chris 307 27 804 Beaber Tony 301 28 817 Hess Mike 288 29 -1 817 McCune Sarah 288 30 838 Davies Jimmy 267

Dave Baumgartner raced winged sprints on pavement with AVSS last year.
Jimmy Davies raced winged sprints last season with the Sprint Invaders. Sarah Fisher raced in the Chili Bowl this year. |

Last I heard the Chili Bowl wasn't an Indy Car race, and Bryan didn't run for them at Indy last year either.
