Best Modified racer?

How about Arlen Fadely (B/SM Maverick) or Bruce Sizemore (I/G Pinto)? Northeast guys would remember Brian Gillis (B/G Nova) and Bobby Spirito ("Daddy's Dollar" F/G Camaro).

I'm with you, Randall - Coleman Roddey.

Then Lee Shepherd, Larry Kopp, Dave Hutchins, Paul Blevins and the Nickens Brothers in that order.

I have to second that on Paul Blevins he did very well with 55 Nomad.

Kenny Wigington · 06-27-2007, 10:18 PM

Kopp, Roddy, are 2nd and 3rd. Cotton Perry was the man ! IMO !

Palmer and Perry.

My vote would have to be for Gene Fulton as Best Modified driver. My family (Jerry Jennings) convoyed with Gene & Kay, and we usually stayed late at the races. He is the only man I know who buried his race car after a crash and gave it a tombstone! The wagon was good to him.
