Real Stock Cars at Knoxville...

[CIRF]

Ron Hutcherson was from Keokuk, as well. Don White raced out of Keokuk but he was born in Monmouth, Illinois.

Wow, good ol memories

Ernie and Russ Derr, Jack Bowsher, Ramo, Blankenship, White, Joe Ruttman. Tremendous USAC stock car racing back in the day. Loved going to Springfield and Duquoin every year to see these guys.

Anybody remember the year at the Springfield Mile when they stopped the race at halfway to water so they could "keep the dust down"?? Then AJ put on a show on the high side to win it from about 10th or 12th place. He had that Foyt red number 51 Camaro rollin. Ruttman went up there with him and got second. Some say AJ told the track crew, 'If you water that top, I'll win it'. lol What a great division that was back in the day. Great video Krooser.

Go 18!!

Those Hemi MoPars rumbling down the straight away....I can still hear them. Notice the # 75 Butch Hartman, many time champion of the USAC Stock Cars. #9 Don White....#6 Lem Blankenship...#99 Verlin Ecker.......Chuck McWilliams won that race driving a Porter Lanigan 1972 Plymouth. You all missed out on a great era of Stock Car Racing.

Thanks for the info. Grew up watching Chuck McWilliams and then all of his sons race here in N.Ky. at Florence Speedway (aka Northern Kentucky Speedway )
