RIP Bill sorry to hear that. I meet Bill way back when he had a OZ pavement car & Joe Roush ran it a few times.

Thanks for posting. I was unaware of "Indiana Andy" racing any open wheel.

Bill put a sprint car together from junk that other guys had discarded, borrowed a motor, put Indiana Andy in it and won the main the first time out at Bloomington. One of Oz's favorite stories. Bill will be missed.
