Today, we remember and celebrate the life of Greg Hodnett on what would have been his birthday.
A 5-time Williams Grove Speedway Track Champion and third on the all-time wins list with 73 career victories, Greg’s accomplishments on the track cemented his place among the greatest competitors to ever race at the Grove.
Though we lost Greg in 2018, his impact on our sport, our speedway, and the countless fans he inspired continues to be felt every day. His legacy lives on through the memories, the victories, and the passion he brought to sprint car racing.
Happy Birthday, Greg. Forever remembered.
Stopped at @BulldogRears today. What an incredible manufacturing facility Dave Ely, his wife and workers have created in Lancaster PA. Dave gave Sandy and I the tour of the many racing parts and Bulldog Rears they manufacture and ship out all over the world. Thanks for the welcome Dave.@adrianshaffer21@nash_ely3

It wasn’t an authentic 70s swing set if one leg wasn’t popping out of the ground in a concerning fashion once somebody really got going on that motherfucker.
Sure, 4K is nice, but there was nothing like sitting two inches away from one of these sweet bastards while your mother predicted you’d be as blind as Ray Charles by the following Thursday.
