Per NSSN Butch Wilkerson drove the 33 Jones car that day. He qualified 14th, finished 2nd in Heat 2 and 13th in the Feature.

My very first time in a sprinter!!! What a thrill that night was (June 1980)!!!!! After I talked Bob into letting me drive the car I had to borrow a suit from Tony Solomito, a Helmet from Timmy Martini and gloves from Danny Milburn....

Jeff Bloom was the last guy to drive it before I did. He ran it on the mile at the Indiana State fairgrounds in May of that year (1980).

PS...Just relating my experience in 1980....I know he isn't the guy in the original 1974 photo on this thread...

It's amazing how one photo brings back different memories from different folks. That's what makes our sport so great. Thanks to all who took the time to reply, and leo for the legwork.
