  • The World of Outlaws Is a Haphazard Dirt
    Doug The World of Outlaws is a haphazard dirt track sanctioning body for winged sprint car racing that came out of nowhere in the 1980s and still is running strongly today, led by everyone’s favorite American racing driver, Kyle Larson. When I was reporting on the WoO in the 1980s and 1990s,I was fortunate enough to watch four great drivers -- Steve Kinser, the bull; Sammy Swindell, the brat, Bobby Allen, the sorrowful flower child; and Doug Wolfgang, the underdog. I talked to all of them: Kinser was always reaching for another can of beer; Swindell always seemed hostile; Allen always seemed out of it; only Wolfgang made a decent interview. Then on April 3, 1992, in Kansas, at Lakeside Speedway, he suffered burns over better than 30 percent of his body in a flaming crash. The WoO carried few insurance papers on its drivers; Wolfgang himself carried little; and so, to save his own life and those of his wife and two teenage daughters, he sued for damages. Nobody is supposed to sue anybody else in racing, so this earned Wolfgang -- the winner 140 Wo0 matches, the five time champion of the Knoxville Nationals, plus his first place finishers in hundreds of minor races -- the disgrace of being a fallen racing driver. Exaggerating his limitations as an underdog winged sprint car driver, Wolfgang told me, “I’m losing my hair. I’ve got lines on my face. I’m worn out.” But when I asked him if he enjoyed being the underdog, he admitted, “Yes, I guess I’ve always liked playing the underdog in my racing.” This, in turn, had given him the mystique of a moody, unpredictable performer.

  • Racing, Region, and the Environment: a History of American Motorsports
    RACING, REGION, AND THE ENVIRONMENT: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS By DANIEL J. SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

  • The Fast and the Curious: Best-Ever Moments in Huset's Speedway History Tom Savage for the Argus Leader
    The Fast and the Curious: Best-ever moments in Huset's Speedway history Tom Savage For the Argus Leader Huset’s Speedway was built in 1954 by farmer and Brandon business owner Til Huset, who turned his soybean field just south of Brandon into a racey 3/8-mile dirt oval race track. He hosted racing at the venue in 1954 and 1955 before shutting everything down for the 1956 and 1957 seasons. After the track sat empty for two years, it had a resurgence in 1958. Races ran continuously from July of 1958 until its closing in May of 2017. There have been many memorable moments at the dirt track over the last 64 years with four different owners, thousands of participants and tens of thousands of fans. With the track’s future in doubt, the time seems right to embrace its past by highlighting the top 10 moments in Huset's Speedway history. 10. Opening Day After Huset completed carving out the ⅜-mile high-banked oval track in the spring of 1954, he hosted his first race on May 23 of the same year. The facility was nothing like it is today, and the races were run during the day because there was no lighting system. There were also no grandstands, no concessions stands, no public address system, no restrooms, no crash walls, no fences. It was simply a dirt oval, in the middle of a field, and fans sat on blankets on the hill where the current permanent grandstands and suites are located. Twenty-eight cars were in attendance on that first Sunday afternoon, with Paul Stogsdill of Wagner winning the first feature event in the track’s history.
