Thanks Richie I really enjoyed reading all the history.

The original Ricky Bobbie even ran one of those years in Silver Crown and I had forgotten that. Think it was 1999 too lazy to dig back through. I saw him in Florida this winter.

The original Ricky Bobbie is none other than Indycar racer Rick Treadway. What a character. The only one I know who can rival Schrader in story telling.

His father owned the cars Arie Luyendyk set the track record in.

Find a purpose in life ..... Be a bad example

Richie is awesome! Side note..... I rode from Belleville,Kansas to Indy with Ritchie and Mr. Pat Sullivan. That was a twelve hour history lesson. The detailed memory of all aspects of racing was amazing. Pretty sure they were all True stories.

That’s so very kind of you all! I really appreciate the comments. What will I do for an encore? I still have all the USAC Sprint & Midget seasons to recap too. So, stay tuned! Lol

I'm ready for the Sprint & Midget Season Recaps!! Can you include the 4-Crown Nationals Results, when USAC still sanctioned the Stock Cars, then the Late Models? I know you already posted Champ Dirt Car Results.

Thanks!!
