Great win for the Wenzels!

I did forget about the Bobby Warren win at Atlanta. Cal Method reminded me of that last night.

I'm thinking you were due!

Great job & congrats to you both.....I think they were warming up the paddles for Dave when your win light came on!

We'll celebrate some in Stanton.

Congratulations, Ben and Dave!

As my car owner, Jim Meador, likes to tell people (and I'm sure he's told you a few times :)) he was there watching when you won the Nationals in 67.

Hopefully I'll see you guys at the races one of these days.

Congratulations, Ben and Dave, on winning Norwalk. Not only the same car that won Indy in 1967, but the same lettering and same car number!

I think that you've got the new record for longest span between National Event wins at 43 years over the 40 year record that Ed Sigmon set last year (1969-2009).

As far as the oldest winner, wasn't the late Ed Merkle 70 years old when he won Stock at Englishtown?

I'll bet Bob Frey or Bret Kepner will have the correct answers.
