20 isn’t young for today’s race drivers. In the 70’s when you had to be 18, it was. 2 years of success in street stocks landed me a midget ride, thought I had won the lottery. Didn’t come from money. Hard work is good work! #WayBackWednesday #OpenWheel #MCR

As a kid, I was lucky enough to go to the inaugural CA 500 on 9/6/70 - with a friend & his family. After the 500, we flew overnight (with racers) to St Louis, MO, took a rental to DuQuoin, IL for the Dirt Car race on 9/7/70. Jim McElreath & Al Unser Sr p/u the wins. #INDYCAR

I remember reading about A. J. Foyt having engine trouble in practice at the 1961 Hut Hundred. He paid the last place starter 500 bucks to drive his car. AJ started last, won the race, & I believe he lapped most of the field.

Racing at DuQuoin, IL (Southern IL 200) Sept 1987. Engine issue derailed a good run/ P23. My good friend Dean Roper won in the #89. Dean & I became fast friends when I was a rookie Daytona International Speedway. He helped me sort out my car & get up to speed. Very good racer! RIP Dean. #ARCA

Working for Grant King in ‘75 & ‘76 was an opportunity to be around Sheldon Kinser. Whether it was a Sprint Car, Silver Crown, or #IndyCar, Sheldon could wheel it. Within a few years, I was able to race against him - great guy & very good racer. RIP

Sadly, the world lost a talented singer/songwriter yesterday - J. D. Souther. J. D. helped shape the country-rock sound in Southern California in the 1970’s. His biggest hit “You’re Only Lonely was released in 1979. #RIP Link ⬇️ youtu.be/5M39HESwLyM?si…
