DeLand’s own Bill Jones.
In FASCAR you can run a tube clip in LLM. But they call it a Late model. And Rick, If memory serves me correct, B.J. McLeod was either 13 or 14 when he startes running Supers at Orlando. The car Sean Bass runs is a “Super” chassis with a crate engine and it runs pretty sporty against “Supers” with “Super” engines.
Correct Dave. BJ McLeod was 13… as were both Sport Allen and Jeff Gordon.
Although some of these young starters turned out to be pretty talented, I’m still no big fan of young kids in full sized racecars.
One other thing… Erik Jones was actually 14 when he started racing in a Crate car at Speedweeks of last year (2010).
How about 1940’ish musician/entertainer Spike Jones (think kazoos and crazy whistles). He didn’t race himself, but he owned and sponsored several Midgets on the West Coast just after WWII.
Clayton, Ga.'s Jabe Jones…former Hooters/ ARCA Driver…
He now runs EVERY CLASS using a super late model power plant,with a mini stock chassis and an abc type “83” El Camino body on 70 series DOT tires.
Palm you just ain’t right! LOL!!!
Alton Jones, I believe he was out of Alabama. Ran at Nashville, and ran the All-Pro series when it was tough.
Alton also ran some cup races middle 70’s. I am pretty sure he still lives around Birmingham Pleasent Grove.
Alton Jones was a front runner at any All Pro race that I saw.
