Anderson and Madison County have always had a love affair with fast cars and auto racing . From Anderson Speedway(Sun Valley) to Muncie Dragway to Winchester Speedway (Funk Speedway) and all points in between speed has always been an adrenaline rush for gear heads .

Here we can talk about what is currently going on in motorsports or better yet visit the good old days .

My cousin had a bad a** 68 Firebird....wow that was a cool car and very fast.  He crashed that one into the side of a train and then he had a Oldsmobile 442 that was even faster than the Bird.  He used to drag race the Olds somewhere north of town.

Ohio State vs Texas.  Grand Marshall Tony Stewart did the coin toss at the 2009 Fiesta Bowl football game on FOX.

Does anyone know the history of the Cadillac powered sprint car that Bobby Leever used to drive ?

Who's truck?

Tom Miller.  A former co-worker's nephew; I consider myself to be his #1 fan outside this family and crew.

He was rookie of the Year in 2003 - Started racing and Champion Auto Racing Series (CARS) "Rookie of the Year" 5th in points

2004 - Four feature wins;

2005 IURL Truck Champion.  I followed him that year from Anderson Speedway, Mansfield, Ohio, Jeffersonville, South Bend, Indy Raceway Park (now ORP), Salem, Windchester, Mt. Lawn, and Baer Field.  Truck was white #39.  

Truck changed color to blue for 2006 season.
He won races in 2006 in the Indy United Racing League and I think finished in the top 3 in points.  

In 2007 IURL had to change their name to Advance Racing Association, because Indy Motor Speedway did not like that...Tom finished 2nd in the points.   Also ran at Winchester with the ShortTrackTrucks Series from Michigan.

So he raced it in 2008 and he won the ARA Truck Championship.  He has placed it up for sale  http://www.advanceracingassociation.com/Classifieds.html
