The Catch Can

Our on-line magazine, the Catch Can will feature my
insights and commentaries from around the racing
world. Things that I notice. things that are on my
mind, or just things that I feel like rambling on
about on any particular day. It is my hopes that you
will find something in
here catches your
interest.

While I will be trying to
write these columns in a timely manner to keep new
material on the site, there will be no set schedule
for the articles. Please keep checking back with us,
as this, like the rest of the site will be updated
regularly. Thanks.

Echoes of Thunder
 |
Speedway Photo is proud
to present another great feature to our On
Line magazine. Echoes of Thunder is a look back on
some of the legendary drivers of the past as well as
anecdotes, stories,
photos and anything else
that happens to be on the mind of our resident
racing historian and curmudgeon at large, Jerry
Sims. Echoes of Thunder will be a monthly feature
here and will trace the roots of racing, both in
actual events and as it was portrayed in the
|
|
movie industry.
Much as the name implies, we will look back to the
classic films of the era such as Thunder in Carolina
all the way to Days of Thunder. In addition we will
recall memories of NASCAR®
events held before Junior Johnson and Bill France
introduced Winston to their events. We will pay
homage to some of the pioneers of the sport, "Tiny"
Lund, "Fireball" Roberts, Curtis Turner, and even
some drivers you may never have heard of. The focus
of this will not be of just the legends of NASCAR®,
but of the men and women of our sport on the local
levels as well, names such as Bunk Moore, "Stick"
Elliott, Tommy Jordan and a host of others. We hope
that you enjoy this latest addition to our site!

Back in the Day News
| Want to see
old clips from the newspaper? Want to read up on what
happened this weekend 20 years ago? Curious as to how
a certain driver did last year during a particular
stretch? This is the place to come then. We will be
filling this section with both reprints and pictures
as well as the actual articles here. Most of the
articles found in here are ones I wrote for the
local paper, |
 |
| but there will be others as
well. Each section is broken down by years, with
more stuff coming all the time.
