The Smith Collection at Speedway Motors - Start Your Engines!
|
Think you're an expert on Chevrolet performance and engine history? Maybe so, but we're willing to bet that The Smith Collection at Speedway Motors has some Bow-Tie history that would educate even the most die-hard enthusiast. Many of the race cars, engines, and performance parts on display come from the world of circle track racing, like this Chevy-powered sprint car. The number "4X" always identified a Speedway Motors race car, and this display commemorates the car and driver that won the first televised sprint car race in 1976. The late Jan Opperman, depicted in the painting, was the original outlaw, shunning the racing organizations of the day and drawing huge crowds as he traveled across the country, taking on all comers.
