Was always a very clean car. Don't remember the years but always enjoyed watching him.

No. It was John. I believe he may have led the entire 100 laps. Lynch kept trying to spin him out, but couldn't do it. Had the back bumper beat into the gas tank. The track was a quarter mile with tires around the inside. By the time the race was over, everyone was running inside of the tires. I think Harry Hein got third. Great memories. Rest in peace, John. Say hello to dad for me.
