This is an update to the Tony Sawyer story. He and I have talked twice recently, and we want his fans to hear more of this story from his words. Also, I did not intend to hurt anyone by publishing this story before talking to Tony, ever since Bob Libbey passed I want...

Today’s inductee into the RacingKC.com Hall of Fame was a consistent winner at Lakeside and I-70 Speedways. Per the records of the late great Bob Libby this driver was the winningest Lakeside Speedway asphalt driver. Most of his wins were in the...
