In Memory of...

Mercer Raceway Park has enjoyed a long history of racing dating back to July 26, 1951.  Through that time many drivers have come and gone.  Many of those memories were rekindled during the 50th and 51st anniversary celebrations at the speedway in 2001 and 2002 and then again on the 55th anniversary in 2006.  Unfortunately many of those that would have liked to share in the time of fellowship had passed on.  It is our hope that this page will serve as a memorial to those that are no longer with us.  If you know of anyone that should be placed on this special list, please let us know.  It would be greatly appreciated.    Drivers: Chuck Adams Conny Allen Dick Amos Harold Arkkelin Wally Arkkelin, Jr. Wally Arkkelin, Sr. Bob Axe (Mercer, PA) Tony Banick Barney "Red" Barnes Buddy Barris Bud Bickel Dave Braham Jim Brauer Paul Brown Mearl "Froggie" Bruner Tom Buchanan Herb Buck Ben Bussard Ken Carbone Lew Carr Troy Cochran Clifford "Tip" Coryea Bill Craig Dick Crawford Glen Davis Pat Doran Chuck Engstrom "Junkyard" Jimmy Faas Tommy Gelvin Vic George Arthur Georgie Frank Gorichky Kenny Hassell Lloyd Hawley Albert Hays Jeff Hoffman John Holfelder Hap Jones Al Jurysta Walter "Sonny" Landis Gary Martin Bob McFeaters "Flintstone Flyer" Frank McFeaters Al Metz, Jr. Dave McMillin Harold Michaels Howard Michaels Jim Minton Sam Perry Dick Rankin Clair Redmond Clark Reefer Paul Rhodes Bill Rice Ron Riddle Frank Rudzik Jim Seese Johnny Spadin Emil Smolnik Joe Staph, Sr. Dave Stewart Mel Swartzlander Steve Travers Steve Ungar Fred Urey Carl Wagner, Sr. Dave Wagner Edward Wagner Jack West Sammy Wheat Ted Wise Russ Woolsey Bill Yarnell   Owners: Al Deane Bill Emig Russ King Ron Montag   Promoters/Owners: Bud Bickel Mabel Bickel Otis Coulter Don Godfrey, Sr Jeff McElrath.
