Nobody has mentioned JJ Yeley or Dave Blaney. I remeber my Dad met Yeley at the track the first year he ran SCRA, I think he was 17. My Dad was painting a billboard and Yeley and his Dad were walking the track and checking it out. Yeley looked so young my Dad to ask who drove. I remember watch him that night and he was wild but fast I think he ended up on his lid. He ran quite a few other time at SMS and I am sure a few of you can recall him dueling with Sheridan at one the best SCRA races at SMS. Dave Blaney ran quite a few times with the outlaws I used to have a picture signed by him when he ran the Vivarin car. I'll see if I can dig it up.
Dave Blaney -22 Bill Davis car
JJ Yeley- 18 Gibbs car
2 modern era cup drivers

Tyler Walker ran with the winged 410's at SMS when he was maybe 16 or 17 years old and he served a short stint in NAPCAR.

Billy Boat always ran well at SMS in midgets and now he is known for his time in IRL.

Billy, I know that Jeff Gordon raced at Bako in the World of Outlaws in 92 I think. Did he also race in SMS then or around then sometime.

He was to young to race at SMS.  You had to be 16 years old. Someone brought it to Doug Forts attention that he was only 14 at the time, So Doug sent him away. I belive it was an Insurance issue.

In the World of Outlaws he was 16 at least I know that when he raced here he was because he is tow years older than me and I was 17 in 92.

Jeff Gordon was born in 1971 so if he raced in 1992 that would make him 21 years old

Who won the first dirt late model race in early 80's at the speedway, and who won the first street stock race when speedway went to dirt? And who was first pro mod champ?
