23

The team cars of Jerry Bartlett and Lew Hennessey circa 1976. I'm not sure of the arrangement here as Lew Hennessey usually drove for Ira Bromley. If Jerry didn't own the #23 initially, he eventually bought it, as he later renumbered it 8 and put George Brunnhoelzl Jr. in it. This seem to be George's big break as he scored a few wins with it at Freeport in 1976 and won the Freeport Track Championship in his own car #28 in 1977. Jerry Bartlett renumbered the car the 07 in 1977 and won a feature in it himself. Lew Hennessey went on to run a fairly unique Monza Towne Coupe for Ira Bromley and capture a few features in that car himself.
