Gary Willey

 

Gary attended his first race at Fremont Speedway at the age of nine - it was the track's first ever race in 1951 and he was hooked.  

 

Gary built his first car in 1961 and drove a sprint car for the first time in 1965. 

 

Through his business - Gary Willey's Radiator Service - he sponsored and supported other drivers and the track.  Gary even wrote and recorded a song "Dirt Track Boogie"..
