Me too. I saw his car in a car show many years ago. Hot Rod and other magazines would cover the races where he was running. He was one of my favorites.

Here's another good one:

Mid Michigan Motorplex in Stanton, MI; 1995

https://www.hotrod.com/features/whee...982-1577-96-1/

Big names there: Chuck Samuel, Nick Scavo, Brent Jarvis, Bruce Kimmen, Danny Scott - with Rick winning it all.
