  • Jack Hewitt Entertains Crowd at Villages Club
    Hewitt Entertains Crowd at Villages Club The Villages Daily Sun Friday, January 9, 2015 By Steve Trivett Jack Hewitt kept the crowd on the edge of their seats for much of his stellar auto-racing career. He had them rolling in the aisles during a meeting of The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club on Wednesday evening at Colony Cottage Recreation Center. “Before I say anything, I need to warn you that I’m not rated G and I’m not politically correct,” said Hewitt, one of the most famous names in the history of United States Auto Club racing. “But I’ve stories up the ying-yang.” Yes, he does – much to the delight of the crowd of more than 100 that filled the room. And he told most of them. To say that Hewitt is a throwback is to say that belonging to the auto racing fraternity is not for the faint of heart. He’s had his neck broken twice. On at least one occasion, he’s caught on fire – that’s right, on fire. “We were running at the Fairgrounds at Indianapolis when something blew and there were flames everywhere,” he recalled. “The fire-fighting guys came over and turned all of their extinguishers on the car. “I had gotten out and I’m yelling, ‘But what about me!’ The only part of my neck that wasn’t burned was where the strap of my helmet went under my chin, and my feet were on fire. But I’m still here to tell about it.” Tell you about it he will – and he’s one of those who can talk the talk because he walked the walk.

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).

  • TONY STEWART: Driver, Owner, Philanthropist
    TONY STEWART: Driver, Owner, Philanthropist Birthdate: May 20, 1971 Birthplace: Columbus, Indiana Hometown: Columbus, Indiana Residence: Columbus, Indiana Social Media: Facebook (@TonyStewart), Twitter (@TonyStewart) and Instagram (@TSRsmoke) DRIVER: Pick a racing series. Choose a style of racecar. Name a venue. Chances are, Tony Stewart has proven victorious – in and out of the driver’s seat. After a 20-year NASCAR driving career, the last 18 of which were spent in the NASCAR Cup Series, Stewart retired from his NASCAR driving duties following the 2016 season to focus on his co-ownership of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) with industrialist Gene Haas, and to partake in the kind of open-wheel dirt racing where his path to NASCAR began. Since first wheeling a go-kart in 1978 at a Westport, Indiana, racetrack, Stewart went on to score 12 driving championships. His most widely-known titles are the three he scored in the NASCAR Cup Series. Stewart earned his first crown in 2002 by beating veteran racer Mark Martin by 38 points, a second in 2005 when he bested Greg Biffle by 35 points and a third in 2011 when he outdueled Carl Edwards by virtue of a tiebreaker. The two ended the season tied in points, but Stewart’s five-win tally trumped Edwards’ lone victory. Championships begat championships for Stewart. The Columbus, Indiana, native came to NASCAR in 1999 by way of the IndyCar Series, where he was the series champion in 1997. And before he made his mark in Indy cars, Stewart made a name for himself in the rough-and-tumble world of the United States Auto Club (USAC).

  • Nazareth Speedway Rebirth Continues to Move at Slow Pace
    Nazareth Speedway rebirth continues to move at slow pace By Pamela Sroka-Holzmann | The Express-Times on December 26, 2012 at 6:05 AM Mario Andretti of Nazareth poses in the pits at Nazareth Speedway. Express-Times File Photo The rebirth of the Nazareth Speedway continues to roll slowly along. It’s been eight years since auto racers lapped around the track, which was home to such racing greats as Mario Andretti, who won the 1969 U.S. Auto Club dirt champ car race there. It’s been seven years since the property went on the sales block, currently listed for $18.8 million. “My fans ask me all the time what is happening to the Nazareth Speedway,” Andretti said in an interview last week. “Every time I drive by it, it brings back quite pleasant memories. It’s a shame honestly.” The 157-acre site at Routes 191 and 248 is owned by Daytona-based International Speedway Corp., also known as ISC, which owns or operates about 13 motorsports facilities. Both Charles Talbert -- director, investor and corporate communications spokesman for International Speedway Corp -- and Glenn Fritts, senior vice president and broker of record at Weichert Commercial Brokerage, say little about the interest they have seen in the property. “The owners are still considering several opportunities -- each has its own benefits and issues,” Fritts said in an email. “Really the status hasn’t changed,” Talbert said. “The property still remains for sale. We definitely have interest in it.” Township Manager Timm Tenges said it’s been years since anyone has come before the township with plans to revive the property.
