ROOSTER MAN

When’s the last time you had as much fun at the track as this fan did at Port Royal Speedway for the Lucas Oil Late Models? To top it off, Rooster Man could truly crow as his guy, Tim McCreadie, won the feature. Photo: Dan Demarco

STEP RIGHT UP!

The English Creek Speedway kart track just south of Knoxville, Iowa, might just have the coolest flagstand in the whole land as they repurposed a sprint car frame for their flagger’s perch. There’s a lot of old sprint car parts in this part of the world and no shortage of imagination of how to use them. Photo: Paul Arch
