    Roger Long 36 Was great, and if he put racing first and not his farm he been greater. Wolfgang was one of the best in a sprint.

          You guys are talking mostly guys that ran 1 class of car most of there careers.

          LOU BLANEY. Dominate in a sprint car and a Big Block Mod.
          JACK HEWITT. That S.O.B. could drive the wheels off anything
          BOB WEARING. Mr. Invitational. 1 year, won every race he entered at lernerville, was also a threat in a modified
          ED LYNCH. Another sprint car and modified
          BLACKIE WATT. Same as above

          Boy those where the golden years for sure.

                    I've know Paul for years. Lives about 15 minutes from me. Nicest guy you could meet. He's race a bunch of different cars over the years. 1985 Brownstown Speedway Track Champion. Probably the only thing he hasn't raced is a sprint car. A buddy of mine pit crewed for him back in the early 1980's. Paul was pretty good in a dirt late model. Had fun watching him race as a kid.

                    2024 Season: 14 - Brownstown (IN) 2, Fairbury (IL) 2, Farmer City (IL) 1, Grundy Co (IL) 1, Kankakee (IL) 2, & Shadyhill (IN) 6

                      I am 74 years old and I believe that Bloomer is the GOAT when it comes to super late model racing.He has stayed in this division for so long and won everything there is to win. He can build the cars, He knows how to set them up, He is great at marketing, sells merchandise and runs his own show.

                      But when it comes to just driving the car, nobody could drive a super late model better then Jeff Purvis
                      When he pulled into the pits, it did not matter which track it was, He was the man to beat.
