Racing With "The Doctor": Recollections from a Member of Jerry Crabb's Sprint Car Pit Crew

Jerry Crabb and his white and red 12x sprint car were familiar sights at Knoxville Raceway and central Iowa tracks in the 1990s and early 2000s, mainly in the 360 class. He began racing motocross in the ’60s and raced flat-track motorcycles, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and nearly anything else with wheels, well into the 2010s. However, he didn’t set foot in a sprint car until the age of 47 in 1990, at the spring World of Outlaws race in Knoxville. He was the winner of the 1998 Masters Classic at Knoxville. Learn about the old-school and charismatic Crabb, the interesting cast of characters that supported him, what it’s like to be a crew member during a night at the races, and entertaining episodes throughout his sprint car career. Written by one of Crabb’s crewmembers and compiled from notes taken at the time, author Thomas invites you to grab a wrench, mud-scraper, and tire tape and come along as he reflects on 15 years of chasing big dreams with a local grassroots sprint car team.Read more
