We lost one of the toughest guy's to ever strap into a sprint car yesterday.
The One Armed Bandit suffered a heart attack and crashed his car into a pole on the way to pick up the morning paper near his home in Freeman Spur,Ill.
God Speed racer.

Heard about that last night H.... Too bad, good man and a good racer. Was always hard to believe the car control the man had with just one arm! He had a really "unusual" sense of humor about the arm loss... At one of the Thursday night parties at Knoxville Nats may moons ago, he had a beverage in one hand and good old JR Richert tossed him another one--Chuck dropped the near empty one and caught the full one then said "I might be crippled but I ain't stupid!!!"----Then laughed louder then anyone else there!!!!
PS--On Friday night he went by a whole bunch of us drivers with two arms and won his heat, State's race, and the Friday night B Feature!!!!
Think he did a bunch of laps down your way in a Midget, too????
RIP Chuck
