You really had to be brave to be the flag man in those days.

Back in the day I saw Wolfgang win many races. I truly think he was the greatest, most talented sprint car driver ever. I mean the dude just never wrecked! And the way he would work his way to the front was unreal.
@billschaefer38184 ай бұрын
The first 5-10 years he did wreck alot. Ask Knoxville Ia. people when Wolfie showed up there in Bob Trosel Cars, Wolfie designed the Cars that Bob was building.

This fuzzy footage with the out-of-sync sound is right-down appropriate for its subject matter and makes me nostalgic for dirt-track racing. My hometown had a short dirt track where midget racers with little Offenhauser engines filled summer Sunday evenings with the smell of the exhaust.

I have mnay fond memories of Sammy a7 Jeff Swindell , Mark & Steve Kinser, Andy Hillenburg and Keith Kauffman, Stevie Smith and the ever humble Doug Wolfgang put on a hell of a show once a year when the WOO made their presence known at the track i was fortunate to live in the same town as "The House of Power" OCFS in Middletown, NY. Now don't get me wrong Larson, Grant, Bell, Abreu and their gang are great but the Old Timers were the innovators and always , always put on a heel of a show. Ah the good old days. Oh yes i can't forget Donny Shatz

The first time I seen DW was at husets Speedway in Brandon SD, or in Sioux Falls it was in the mid 80's and I remember when he had his crash in Kansas cause it was all over the local news, he was one of the best racers of the time, thank God I got to see him race in person and I can say he is the reason I would love to go racing again

There was a huge lawsuit over the crash. I don't remember how it came out but Doug was in there way too long for sure. And there wasn't proper fire fighting equipment if my memory serves me right. 🏁

My time with following sprint car racing started in 2007 with the Knoxville Nationals. Too late to ever see DW, unfortunately for me. But that’s my loss. DW, in this interview, shows me the honesty and earthiness of how great this person truly was and I missed it! Thanks for this video………

What a trip watching this video has been for me. I am 63 and been around dirt tracks my whole life. In my younger day I helped a friend build I a street stock for local 3/8th dirt track. I live ½ mile from Raceway 7 in Conneaut, OH. I used to drive the Firetruck (a GMC 4x4 P/U) and have chased Late Models back in days before radios and transceivers. Next season for the first time I am Fulfilling a Dream. I am 63 I am going to drive a front wheel drive "min-stock". LOL this should be a trip. While I have drove anything rear and 4x4 and up ( including my 35 years as truck driver) I have never been around the track in front wheel drive. OH... and BTW, Watched Doug MANY times at Sharon in Hartford, OH (home of The Blaneys) and Lernerville.
