Gary Blum

#22a

Gary is from Oakland City and is  42 year old.   He races sprint cars at his home track of Tri-state.  He also races Midwest sprint and Putnamville.

Gary's father and grandfather races so he was exposed to it as a kid.  He got his first win in a super modified at Mazineta Arz. in 1980.

He was rookie of the year in a sprint car, and finished 4th in the points at Mazineta. The car is a Dohemelt with a  Chevy. 

Lynn Blum is his racing hero.  He ran third in a USAC race and beat Tony Stewart at Haubstadt. 

Lynn's goal is to go to Knoxville. 

Tim Powers, Angie Blum and Andrea help.
