Lincoln Speedway and Fred Rahmer Promotions recently held a Sprint Car Legends race, which included some of the all time greats from the Central Pa sprint car scene.  It got me wondering, who would be your choices for a late model legends race?  Just for kicks, nominate 2 drivers that you think were the best late model drivers in Pennsylvania.  I know there are some drivers that I would consider legends that are still actively racing today, so I would go ahead and include them.

 

I'll start off with one retired driver and one active driver:

 

Clate Husted (Retired)

Luke Hoffner (Active)

Too many to limit it to just two.
Bob Wearing, Sr.
Herb Scott
L.J. Dennis
Tom Peck
Blackie Watt
Squirt Johns
Dick Barton
Turk Burkett
Paul Betton
Don Luffy
Bobby Schnars
Jim Scott
Dick Litz...
Those are the ones that come to mind immediately.

I am a little bias but I got to put his name on here cause raced with less equipment than most and usually came home in the top 5, plus he's my hero

Sheetz McGarvey was always one of my favorite drivers. It's just a shame his life was cut short.
