    Beginning as an associate editor during the early 1980s, Keith Waltz’s byline has appeared in SPEED SPORT for more than 40 years.

An incredible journey that included time as a teenage push-truck driver and featured a pair of Knoxville Nationals victories will conclude Saturday, June 1, when Gary “Deuce” Turrill is inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.

Turrill, who turns 70 later this month, is a second-generation racer who used tools and a tape measure instead of a steering wheel to secure his place in sprint car racing history.
