A long and distinguished list over the years!!!! Mostly sprint cars, some late models and modifides.., then later on a bunch of drag racing, owned most of the drag stuff myself, with the exception being some I drove for Pat Ryan, Bobby Mize, and a few others... Originally Posted by 40FordDeluxe

Would be fun to spend some time visiting down that way, maybe one of the NASCAR races at the big track east of Des Moines????

Sounds good Dave! Sprint cars are pretty big around here thanks to Knoxville Raceway. The Newton Speedway is the race track that has some nascar races around here. Hopefully they can keep it here. It's been packed every race, so we shall see. Originally Posted by Dave Severson

As for Knoxville, it's true that the big board fence in turn 1 and 2 is just as solid as any concrete wall!!!!
