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.

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.Originally posted by dirtluver View PostOne guy that stands out to me is Paul Shafer..Not sure of everything he raced..Monster Trucks, dirt late models, Sportman, Mud drags, legends cars, Late model pavement, and could be more..Was good at everyone of them also,Nathan Stephens
Next Race - 7/20 TBA
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.Originally posted by MontanaMagic1619* View PostNo greatest drivers list should be shown unless Jeff Purvis' name is on it, wouldn't u agree ?
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.
