Does anyone else think the Walker #39 driven by Levi at the No Way Out 40 was one of prettiest racecars they've seen in along time,I sure did...

Great looking race car! The lettering is similar to an even better looking sprinter:

Yeah, and IIRC the #15 had a see-thru mud guard on the right side of the cockpit. Worth the price of admission.

Ah yes. She's a beauty too. Love the throwback look.
As I understand it, the walker39 is in homage down to the pinstripe to his dad. Somebody please correct me if that's wrong.

I remember talking with you about your uncle's car before, Roger. All the way back to the year that Kevin was racing with this paint scheme. I think my first time at Haubstadt was 1971. If it looked anything like Besecker's car, it must have been a real good looking sprinter.
