Hutchinson News clipping
I found this photo very interesting from Todd White's collection.
My uncle Carl Vincent Jr raced at Mohawk in the 50's. I know he is the reason we went to the races. I was a racing fan at the local tracks long after my uncle toured the ovals. So I guess I have him to thank for all of this.
This photo shows my uncle pounding the concrete wall at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in 1957.
Todd White is the 3rd car in line in the center of the track driving #22.

Everybodies favorite Henry Ellington. The only Hutchinson driver to win the Hutchinson Nationals (1966) under the Merrick Racing banner. It was well into the 80's or possibly 90's before a Hutchinson driver would be able to claim a title during the Nationals. This was after they started running several classes and each class would have a nationals winner.
