Pics of days gone by... Independence and more

Lisa Duffy, race fan and daughter of longtime Late Model driver Gary Crawford, was kind enough to take the time to scan and send some photos from the Crawford family racing archives. Below is a collection of 16 photos that she sent, which includes some on-track action, along with victory lane photos of some familiar faces through the years. While some are from Independence Motor Speedway and others are not, I don't have the locations where (or all of the years when) the pics were taken. I'm sure race fans who take the time to look over them may be able to figure out all of that. The information I do have is located below each photo. If you have any photos you'd like to share, let me know and I'll see what I can do to share them with our readers of positivelyracing.com. Enjoy!
