To me this picture says it all. Walking
into the pits after the feature was over, Stan was always the first one we visited. I
think he signed about 3,000 autographs for me while I was growing up. I'm only old enough
to remember him all the way back to the #2 car but my father always told me about all of
the great cars he ran over the years. Everyone has their opinion of who the best driver
ever was and to me, it was Stan. YES folks, in my opinion, even better than Billy Pauch!

All I can say is that when Stan teamed up
with Ken Brenn Sr. and drove the Olson built #24 coupe and then the Floyd Trevis built
coupe the following year, he was pretty much unbeatable! Like I said before, I don't
get into who's the best and who's not, but I agree with you, Stan is right up there.
I would just have to mention though, as good as they both are, Billy has been good
at it now for almost 25 years which has to factor in there somewhere. But when it
came to the 70's, STAN was the MAN! |

I totally agree with you Joe. If I had to
choose 2, it would be Billy and Stan. Stan always stood out to me because of the style he
had. Most drivers, except for him and Brightbill, wouldn't take it to the outside that
often. I still wish Stan would get the itch again. No matter what he would get behind the
wheel of, he would make it fast. Maybe Burkett will read this and buy a 27jr to go along
with that 27kc?? One can only dream... |

I've heard a couple drivers from back in
the day say that it's really difficult to make the transition from the sturdy suspensions
that they once ran to a much softer suspension cars of today. I guess back in the
day the cars stayed pretty level left to right through the corners, but now, it's a whole
different deal with the cars having about as much travel as the old Mickey Thompson Off
Road Trucks! Either way, given the right opportunity, I'd bet Stan could still get
the job done... |

I remember growing up and having a t-shirt
with this car on it. Stan was always one of the nicest drivers to us fans. He always had
time for the fans. I had a t-shirt of this Trenton Mack-74 car and the No. 65 car. |
