#6

Steve Delavan drives the #6 Modified  Class car.  His home track is Adams County Speedway.  He lives in Tabor, IA. 

Team members helping Steve are:  Father - Ken Delavan, wife - Betty, and Carl Fucht.  Steve and Betty are car owners.

He started racing in 1998 in the Vintage Coupes Class at tracks in IA, MO, NE. and MN. because his Dad bought a Vintage car and Steve has been a fan since he was 5 years old.  His first win was in 1999 in the Vintage Coupes Class at Shelby County Speedway.  Career highlights include 5 Feature wins in Vintage Coupe Racing, 1 Clean Sweep, Heat, Trophy and Feature, in Rising City, NE. and starting last in a Feature at Warrensburg, MO and passing 20 cars to finish 4th.

The thrill of racing for Steve is driving the car close racing.  His most exciting racing moment was racing at Knoxville, IA in a coupe car and when Alan Kulwicki stopped his car on Daytona Track because he saw Steve, as a fan, photographing  Alan's car through the fence.  He's most proud of trying not to drive over his head and cause needless wrecks.

Steve's racing hero is Richard Petty and all of the local drivers from the '60's and '70's. 

Of racing, Steve says, "Driving the car is only part of it.  Car preparation and upkeep isn't easy!".
