Buddy Baker had a successful career driving stock cars on the @NASCAR Circuit! Many feel that Buddy never received the fanfare that he deserved, some feel he was overlooked because of his father Buck Baker and his success, neither less Buddy was always fast and huge winner!🏁🏁
Hall of Famer @kromerpics captured a classic here of Rico hanging out on the cage of his sprint car, eyeballing the competition! Another "BAD ASS " !
Another @drawnbyrobt classic here Jimmy Horton in the famous
Statewide Racing #3. This era of cars was built by Jimmy with help from @wrenchtwister00 !
There's nothing that Horton can't do and I learned a ton from him at a very young age! We won 43 races 1 year with this car!
@wrenchtwister00 took this photo back in March of 1973, I was 13 years old!
This is to honor the driver of the #69 car Don Kreitz, Sr., at Reading who just passed away recently!Don was a "BAD ASS" for sure. Not sure who the guy is that photo bombed me here? @KreitzRacing69K 🙏

Jerry Richert Sr. was a full time appliance service man that raced part time and managed to win some of the biggest sprint car races in the country ! Starting 13th in 1962 , Richert raced to the front to win the rained shortened Knoxville Nationals in 1962! He took no prisoners!
