shrader, kahne, Larson, stewart, bell, Stenhouse, newman and jj yeley are open wheel guys

Jeff Gordon ran some sprint stuff in his younger years.

We had Patrick Sheltra that ran in some arca races. He had one of the hardest wrecks I can remember ever seeing. Donnie Moran and Lanigan also tried arca.

Moyer tried Arca as well as Kevin Gundaker (I am sure there is a youtube video of his crash at Daytona with the ambulance driver getting hit). Also know Steve Boley came down south and ran a Busch race or two.

They had a race car at Daytona speedway that had names all over it of drivers that had raced there and signed the car. I found chuck mcwilliams and Ralph lathan's name on the car. This was about 20 + years ago. I don't know if is still there since they remodeled.

Ed Ferree and Davey Johnson have both run a fair amount of NASCAR races, and both ended up returning to dirt.

Schrader started in stock cars then went open wheel racing but he never stopped racing late models. The whole time he was running USAC he was still racing late models quite a bit. There were nights when he'd run 3-4 classes.

Ryan Unzicker has had some good runs in the ARCA Series.

Few years back, Wallace and Schrader both were racing Late Models but have since switched to Mods.

in the old days, all the Nascar drivers were dirt track drivers

[Illtsate32]

Ed Dixon ran.Arca for a while...

[golddirt]

Unzicker ran the old asa I believe and Eric smith ran asphalt
Too

Dale Fischlein from Davenport, Iowa ran some Busch Races. He also I think was Dave Marcis’s crew chief. And now is some sort of shop manager for Kevin Harvick.

Dave Blaney

I think Lanigan attempted to run some Busch races. I'm thinking Dale McDowell did some ARCA.

Dale McDowell and Donnie Moran ran ARCA in 1990. I have the trading cards of them.
Davey Johnson
Rodney Combs
Jack Pennington
Freddy Smith
Stick Elliott
Billy Scott

Davey was not happy whatsoever with the guy he raced for in NASCAR. I remember an interview he did in I believe Dirt Late Model Magazine, was burned bad money wise, not a happy camper.
