Add Rickey Hood and Johnny Krebbs to the list. Some people were hired but never got to drive the car. One story was Dizz was runing in Florida and hired 5 drivers, the first one there got the ride. He was afraid someone wouldn't show up if he had one driver.

Add Ray Kenens Sr. to the list. Seems as though there was an article in Open wheel or Sprint Car and Midget, in the recent past, that listed many of Dizz Wilson"s drivers.

How many times did Helfrich run a sprint car?
Not many, I'd guess. I heard at one time he drove one once, then went back to stock cars.
