I am putting this here as there is no thread for US shorter track cars; is there any where that one can find statistics for US sprint car races?

I.e. who won in the past, particuslary USAC sprints from the fifties and sixties.

Any place that one can find track and year results?

Any place that one can find track and year results?Probably not without searching by track. Even USAC only lists year end champions.

http://www.usacracing.com/USAC/Driving_Champs.html

However, you could contact the Sprint Car Hall of Fame

http://sprintcarhof.com/Home.aspx

or the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing

http://www.emmr.org/

Either one should be able to find whatever data is available

That would be tough but there are books. Most though give you only the winners.

Like 1966 Reading, PA (The night Jud Larsen and Red Reigel were killed) winner Bobby Unser.
