Our sport would be nowhere without the owners so, God Bless them! I have always admired and respected the owners and have always been intrigued by how they were successful enough to afford this hobby. Whatever it is they do I hope that it continues to be successful so that they will continue to field cars . Now to my point ; Below is a short list of former and present owners and what they do. If Im wrong please forgive me and correct me. This is just a short list and i hope others will add to it.
Former owners (RIP) the following 2
Keen - trucking
J W HUNT- produce and fruit ?
Casey Luna- Ford dealership , politician ,Walt Dyer, Masonry
current owners
Stewart, Kahne, Stenhouse- NASCAR
Alot of people have sacrificed alot of time and a buttload of money for this sport just hoping you hosers can fill in the blanks. Mind you this is a short list to get the ball rolling . Thanks

+1 for sure. The owners are as legendary as the drivers.....Bob Weikert, Al Hamilton, Clyde Lamar, Paul Hazen, and so on.
And how many times have you sat there and thought "man, if I won the lottery, I build a team, hire so-and-so to be my driver, buy a beautiful motorhome and follow the ____ tour"? Then reality sets back in!

Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?
