I am from Pleasantville and have grown up in the pits at Knoxville on Saturday nights. Sadly, I never knew about the rich history of Earl. Since his passing I have researched it more and more and have enjoyed the time spent. the mural is such an awesome awesome tribute to such an amazing guy.

Preserving the history of Midwest Auto Racing

So much racing history has been made through the years right here in the Midwest.

From the rich dirt ovals in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska to the paved short tracks in Minnesota and Wisconsin, some of the best drivers ever to get behind the wheel of a race car competed right here in the heartland.

We all have our own story to share about our favorite driver who thrilled us everytime they rolled onto the track or that one particular race that still stands out as the greatest they ever saw.

We'll go back in history, 10, 20, 30, 40, even 50 years ago (even more) and reminisce about what has made racing in the Midwest so special for us.

These are our stories. We hope you enjoy them...
