Hershel McGriff Returns to Racing at 90
« on: April 20, 2018, 06:44:44 PM »
There's hope for me yet.

Hershel McGriff is going to race in the NASCAR K&N Series at the age of 90.

"Who would turn down a free ride in a K&N car built by Bill McAnally Racing?" said McGriff. "So it’ll be up to me to turn the wheel in the right direction. But I’ll be OK. When I get my helmet on, they won’t know who’s in there. They won’t know whether I’m 90 or 22. They’ll be wondering who was in the car by the end of the race."

Hershel has 35 wins, 37 poles, 98 top-fives, 144 top-10s in 266 races on the K&N tour. His first race in the series was in 1954, the first year of the series. His most recent race was at Sonoma in 2012. He was 84.

He also famously ran a modified NASCAR Cup Dodge Charger in the 1976 24 Hours of LeMans.

Go get'um, Hershel!  :yahoo:
