The 12 I know for sure is Bob Fitzpatrick from Michigan, he was a regular at checker flag and Mt Clemens.

I think the 2 car is Donnie Hawn, but I'm not positive.

Haven't had to look anything up yet but keep trying

What recent champion driver took over the 2 car in his rookie season?

Statsman forgot to mention the 2 car of Don Hawn was the 1982 Cascar Co-Champion along with Larry LeMay.

Now to be the spoiler the 2 car was owned by Brandon Watson's grandfather Ted Watson but it was Oscaar Champ Uncle Glenn that took over the driving duties of the 2 car as a rookie.

Smart guy.

I always liked this pic of Glenn and Tim from 1983:

I know these too are too easy but I will post anyway for the Delaware faithful. These are both Dave Franks pics.

One more for fun and there are a few Delaware guys in this shot. How many can you name from this CASCAR LM field in 1982. I think I have all but one of them.

Al Turner 22
Russ Urlin 91
Wayne Keeling 35
Don Hawn 2
Dave Lnych 57
Ron Pearn 64 (hard to miss the "orange crate" even without seeing the number)
Earl Ross 68 (another paint scheme that when you see it you know it's the Ron Box car)
Don Biederman 43 (maybe 48 that day as I think Merrifield is there)
Larry Lemay 23 (near the middle of the field)
Paul Hetherington 87 ?
Ron tracey 72
Tom Milligan 23 ?
Bill zardo 46
Joe Belesky 27

Thats all i got for now. (I actually enlarged the pic to get a better look)

I think its Merrifield, 5th row inside. Looks halfway like a Pepsi logo anyway. I guess that might be Beider right behind him.

Bill Rice is there, 8th row outside?

Frank Fraser, 3rd row outside?

6th row outside behind Pearn might be Randy Slack? (can't really make it out)

Here is what I have on the field identification.

Pretty sure that Ross only ran the Boxcar at the finale at Delaware and that Kitchen was in it at the Barrie race.

The one I don't have is the black front end at the far right of the frame in back. Both Don Mallat and Ray McGill had black front ends though

Pretty stout field of cars.

More guess who...

(ok...this is a pretty easy one...though I don't remember this particular car.)

Note the old pit shack in the background.

Heat race coming off pit road.
