WEEDSPORT, N.Y. Central New York standout Bobby Cain, Capital District chauffeur Butch Jelley and Southern Tier veteran Carl Nagel will be inducted into the DIRT MotorSports Hall of Fame on Memorial Day Weekend.
These three driving greats add their names to a growing list of Modified legends that began in 1992 when group founder Glenn Donnelly officially christened the DIRT MotorSports Hall of Fame and Classic Car Museum in Weedsport, N.Y.
The 2005 Induction Ceremonies will take place Sunday, May 29, at 2 p.m. in the Hall of Fame & Classic Car Museum. The 6 'clock racing program at Cayuga County Fair Speedway will be highlighted by the 100-lap Bill McNabb Hall of Fame Classic, the fourth scheduled points event in the Advance Auto Parts Modified Super DIRT Series.
With DIRT MotorSports charter member track, Cayuga County Fair Speedway, celebrating it's Golden Anniversary in 2005, it's rather appropriate that track pioneer and current Weedsport resident Cain enter his name in the organization's museum for the ages. A native of Pennsylvania, Cain moved to the Empire State in 1955 and competed
successfully at both Weedsport and Waterloo speedways where he registered numerous feature wins. Victorious during the flathead and overhead eras in stock car racing, the popular pilot of the no. 36 Quaker Shaker,
ended his career in Weedsport with 10 Modified feature wins and the 1970 season points championship.
Still active today aboard his familiar no. 7N Modified machine, at 65 years of age Nagel remains a fixture at Five Mile Point (NY) and Penn Can (PA) speedways during his sixth consecutive decade of open-wheel competition. A member of the
Southern Tier traveling clan in the early 1980s that included the likes of Charlie Castle, Chuck Akulis, Mike Colsten and Don Slack, Bub also contended weekly at Weedsport Speedway and nearby Rolling Wheels Raceway.
With well over 100 feature wins to his credit, track championships have been collected at:
Penn Can, Five Mile Point and Thunder Mountain Speedway.
Known to the racing community as.. Mr. Carl Nagel, a ture champion, always a gentleman.
