HOLEY SHIRTS

JUST BEFORE TAKEOFF

Iowa’s Chad Meyer dug this beauty out of storage with the following information on it – “My best guess is that it’s from 1979, his first year with Larry Shaw Race Cars. Billy had 12 feature wins that season and was the Iowa State Fairgrounds Speedway (Des Moines, IA) season champion. By the next year, Billy was a top competitor across the country.”

A SENSATION INDEED

Long before he settled into being the Ragin’ Cajun on the World of Outlaws, the late Jason Johnson was the Cajun Sensation and started making a name for himself in Lanny Row’s #41. When Johnson started JJR years later, he kept the 41 number and the team still uses it with current driver Carson Macedo. Submitted by David Giles

WITH A NAME LIKE THAT?

How can a place named Fun Valley Speedway close? Come on! The track operated in Hutchinson, Kansas, in the 1980s and also included softball fields, a campground and a waterpark. The track’s heyday was in the early 1980s and was the brainchild of Larry Brown, who morphed Mohawk Speedway into Fun Valley before closing it. Submitted by Chad Meyer
