he came back to racing. that crash was i believe in 1991. he won at texas about 1999. he was teammates with tony stewart ans actually got tony the ride. i got to know him pretty well. we pitted with him and mark jr. when we raced nationals. i used to talk to mark jr. a couple of times a month and mark sr. a couple of times a year. my son raced against him (we were pitted with them too) about 3 years ago. my son got beat by a 55 year old...lol. they own a kart dealership in new castle indiana and we were racing the brand they supported and we got all our parts from them. mark jr. was best friends with dan wheldon and dismores have a race every year at their track called the robopong 200. the race required at least 2 drivers and 1 kart. mark jr. and wheldon always partnered up. mark jr. was cutting back on his racing so i asked him if he wanted my son to race with them as a 3rd driver. mark said he would mention it to wheldon but i never got an answer. a couple months later wheldon was killed in vegas. the robopong was a week after that. but i found out wheldon accidentally signed up for a race in australia the same weekend as the robopong so he wasn't gooing to race it anyway. so mark jr. decided not to race it too. so mark sr. teamed with josef newgarden using the kart wheldon was supposed to run and they won the race. wheldon lived with dismores when he came here from england. they picked him up at the airport.
anyway, both mark jr and sr and class acts. very good people. we never did get to meet dan wheldon but heard he was a class act too
Here are the 2011 series standings. My son only raced that 1 race in that series. He is Blaise Haynes.
