A NASCAR Truck Tribute To Eldora Speedways' Winningest Driver
Niece Motorsports, who fields NASCAR Trucks driven by Ross Chastain, will feature a color and paint scheme that Jack Hewitt used during a very successful period of his career. Chastain's truck will be dark blue and yellow and will have J.W. Hunt and the penguin on it just as Jack had on his midget, winged sprint car, USAC Silver Crown and dirt late model cars.
All four of the aforementioned racecars were the centerpieces of a picture taken by Steve Remington twenty some years ago. Besides featuring the racecars the picture was highly unique in that it was staged and taken with the cars actually setting in the water at Ludlow Falls which is in a shallow area of Ludlow Creek near Jacks hometown of Troy, Ohio.
This is a great and fitting honor for one of the best and definitely the winningest driver in the history of Eldora Speedway. Hats off to Niece Motorsports and Ross Chastain!!
I can't get the picture to post here but this is the link; http://www.dirtfans.com/images/Hewitt_waterfall.jpg
