About the Book

Black & White Edition (same content as color version, except interior photos are black & white): Jerry Crabb and his white and red 12x sprint car were familiar sights at Knoxville Raceway and central Iowa tracks in the 1990s and early 2000s, mainly in the 360 class. He began racing motocross in the '60s and raced flat-track motorcycles, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and nearly anything else with wheels, well into the 2010s. However, he didn't set foot in a sprint car until the age of 47 in 1990, at the spring World of Outlaws race in Knoxville. He was the winner of the 1998 Masters Classic at Knoxville. Learn about the old-school and charismatic Crabb, the interesting cast of characters that supported him, what it's like to be a crew member during a night at the races, and entertaining episodes throughout his sprint car career. Written by one of Crabb's crewmembers and compiled from notes taken at the time, author Thomas invites you to grab a wrench, mud-scraper, and tire tape and come along as he reflects on 15 years of chasing big dreams with a local grassroots sprint car team.
About the Author: At the age of 18 in 1985, Todd Thomas attended his first sprint car race at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and fell in love with the sport. As fate would have it, six years later the avid fan found himself as a pit crew member on Jerry Crabb's sprint car pit crew, and he served in that capacity for 15 years. After Jerry retired from sprint car racing in 2006, Todd compiled the notes he took over the years and attempted to put them in a book-like format. It sat on his computer for 10 years until he came across it again in 2017. He continued working on the project and eventually published this book in March of 2018. Todd is a life-long Marion County Iowa resident.
