It ain't stock cars, but an e-mail from buddy, Frank in Pennsylvania is an inspiration to all racers. On Friday night, June 20, famed Pennsylvania sprint car star, "Cowboy" Jim Kennedy bested 16 other "305" Sprints to claim a feature win at Mint Hall, Pennsylvania's Racing for Heroes Raceway -formerly Clinton County Raceway.

"Cowboy" Jim is now 80 years old and still running strong! Congrats, Cowboy!

Pennsylvania racers and race fans sure do appreciate and respect their "elders." Just down the road from where 80 year old Kennedy won, 81 year old Red Farmer is scheduled to compete on July 5 at Clearfield, Pennsylvania's Americas Motorsports Park in a Late Model race! Let's hear it for the veterans!

81 year old Red Farmer will race in Pennsylvania on July 5

Wow, I'm glad the old folks are hitting the track.

I know some guy at Rockfish who stopped racing at 93 and now he's 95.
