These are victory lane photos scanned from the front pages of the 1983 Hawkeye Racing News. Some faces will be familiar, some may not, or some you may have forgotten over the years.
Thanks Kyle! In that year I was working the family Janitorial business in Davenport. If I could get free on a Saturday evening I went to the races at Hawkeye Raceway in rural Blue Grass. A neat place to watch the races. My favorite class was the TQ midgets to watch. Thanks for going to all that work to share the memories. Mike Townsley
So much racing history has been made through the years right here in the Midwest.
From the rich dirt ovals in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska to the paved short tracks in Minnesota and Wisconsin, some of the best drivers ever to get behind the wheel of a race car competed right here in the heartland.
We all have our own story to share about our favorite driver who thrilled us everytime they rolled onto the track or that one particular race that still stands out as the greatest they ever saw.
We'll go back in history, 10, 20, 30, 40, even 50 years ago (even more) and reminisce about what has made racing in the Midwest so special for us.
