At 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 29, in its second floor conference center, the National Sprint Car Museum will host a 90-minute “Late Model 101” forum entitled “Iowa World 100 Winners of the 1970’s.” It will be hosted by the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame’s Bob Markos and his son Bobby Markos, Jr., and it will feature three of Iowa’s World 100 winners in Verlin Eaker (1972), Ed Sanger (1974), and Kenny Walton (1978).
According to National Sprint Car Museum curator Tom Schmeh, “We are very pleased to be hosting ‘Late Model 101’ historical forums for the third straight year during the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. This particular one, hosted by the Markos family, will follow our annual memorabilia auction, which will take place in the same location from 12 Noon until 2:30 p.m. I expect both the Noon auction and the 3 p.m. forum will be very well attended. We are also truly honored to be welcoming late model stock car greats Verlin Eaker, Ed Sanger and Kenny Walton to our museum.”
Those seeking more information on the non-profit National Sprint Car Museum’s events, which are being held in conjunction with the September 27-28-29 Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals, should visit www.sprintcarhof.com. Those seeking more information on these three championship drivers are encouraged to visit Midwest Racing Archives at http://www.midwestracingarchives.com/2010/04/remembering-when-iowans-were-kings-of.html.
