Happy Birthday to the very 1st Triple Crown Champion!!
(Among many other accomplishments!)

It was an honor to have Pancho Celebrate his Birthday at my restaurant tonight The Pit Stop BBQ and Grill with about 20 family members and friends, I have a great 2 part photo of him on the wall from his Indy Car days when he was fully inverted in the Hardees Car, A Great Shot, and hard to believe he walked away from it.

A belated Happy Birthday to one of the all-time greats to ever strap
into a sprint car. Pancho, I still feel the best sprint car race I have
ever seen(and I've seen a bunch) was between you and Jan
Opperman at Terre Haute in the mid 70's. Hope you have many more
happy birthdays to come.
