Best Sprint Car Names

Yes, the Red Crush cars were cool, they had Roman numerals after the name as they were replaced. The Twister & Payola ("We pay to play") were Hank Arnold cars. Munchkin, The Green Machine (Sipes), Tamale Wagon & Orange Blossom Special are a few favorites.

The Gibson-Robbins car was a great looking car, sparkle light blue #2.

The Hector Honore Bardahl Special #2

The Weaver-Yemm sponsored #33 - Bright red, silver sparkle #33 Jerry Blundy.

I remember the red 01 of Bobby Layne in the late 70's early 80's. Really gave the big boys fits. Especially at Sedalia, Mo. Was really fast. I first saw him at the first Missouri Nationals at Sedalia. A Who's Who of drivers. Seems like I remember going to Bill Utz resturant.

You might find it interesting to know that the Barrell nickname actually came from a car. Uncle Ron actually made a race car out of barrels.
