Red Farmer still getting it done at age 82
by Roby Helm
EASTABOGA, AL (July 30) - On a Saturday night, most 82-year-old men finish their dinner, watch a rerun of Hee Haw and are in bed by 7:30. Not 82-year-old Red Farmer of Hueytown, AL!! On Saturday night at 7:30, it's race time at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL and that's when Farmer is up on the wheel gettin' it done!!!
This Chris McDill photo shows the "Ageless Wonder" on his way to a fourth-place finish last Saturday night in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Late Model main event. Farmer ranks 41st out of the 416 drivers that have earned points in the 2014 National standings after two top five finishes and six top ten finishes in 12 races.
Farmer has been racing for 60 years, so it's safe to say he was racing before over 90% of the other drivers in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series were born!!
