His son Tim gets all the attention now, but David Russell was a very good racer himself. Must be a pretty good salesman too, as he had some pretty good sponsorship deals going for himself and also Pete Orr. Who can forget the "Horsen Around Farms" team?

Bruce Jacobi at Daytona in 1975... Better known as a USAC driver, a twin 125 crash would leave him in a vegetative state for several years before he passed away...

PA's Dave Hess, whose son Dave Jr. is now one of the best IMCA Mod racers in the country.

The credits show this as a pic from Volusia Cty. Speedway in 1980. One thing that caught my eye, was the Hutter Racing Engines logo on the quarter panel. Hutter was known for making HUGE horsepower in the late 70's - early 80's.

Iowa standout, Steve Fraise in an early ride from 1969, and later in his career when he tried Asphalt for a while in the 90's.

The "Exxon Superflo" car driven by Greg Sacks. Although you may have seen this car on the track, you won't find it listed in any finishing order. It was only used to get footage for "Days of Thunder" and was only out there for appearances, not points or prize money. There were at least 2 others... Tommy Ellis in the Hardees #18, and Bobby Hamilton in the Exxon #51.

The least known of the Treichler Brothers, was Gordie driving the #47 which was identical to brother Rogers #74. Cousin Merv Treichler may have been the best of all 3, with wins at Syracuse, Langhorne, Daytona, New Smyrna, Watkins Glen and dozens of local tracks, on both Dirt & Asphalt.

Gordie got out of racing after only a few years.

Roger was feared wherever he went, and won probably over 100 features himself. After surviving about 25years behind the wheel, he tragically wound up a para-plegic from a fall off a ladder while working on his house.

Merv just about did it all in short-track racing. He eventually got a ride in the Busch series, but money ran out quickly and he was out of the ride. That's about the last I've heard of Merv.

The #58 is his Daytona winning Chevy Monza
