You old timers who watched NASCAR in the early sixties will remember Fearless Fred

The Golden Boy. He was a great driver, retired early and became very successful in real estate. Godspeed, Fred!!!

Thanks for posting, Ron.

Fred was a little ahead of my time. I was amazed at his Soldier Field wins and accomplishments. And Milwaukee. He seemed like one of the first mid-western guys to venture south and really be successful.

Here was another great article posted by Stan K. Great stats.
