My uncle was going through some old racing pictures he took way back in the day and he came across these gems from Spring 1979 at Champaign Speedway in Illinois.
Winged cars running with wingless. Various types of wings. Absolutely fantastic.
Kinser, Smith Sr., Wolfie, Sammy, Ferkle and Johnny Anderson (Who won that day in the yellow and red 21)

The obvious guess of who won in the yellow and red 21 would be Jimmy Boyd, but I'm also guessing there was probably someone else in the seat that day by the way you asked the question.
Also, looks like Bobby Allen behind Steve Smith in the "Restart" picture.

1978-
Boyd and Woodruff parted ways either Friday night or the Saturday morning of the 18th Super Sprint National Championship~ala Sammy and A.J. Jeffrey, but maybe on more amicable terms...
Wanna say Lee Osborne jumped into the 21 that night to run and tangled with Jack McCorkell on the final lap in three and four as Wolfgang wins his 2nd deal there.
Worked out well for Johnny Anderson when the team got back to Cali, they hooked up and won several races, (his 1st WoO win) along with Top-5s in all the big money races on the west coast swing that fall.
----
Also overdue for NSCHoF induction:
Danny Smith (IN) Turned 50 in March of 2007, been racing since '74, has the wins, so what seems to be the problem?

Ah, yes. Now that I reread it, it is a statement rather than a question. Brain fart on my behalf. Seems I have more and more of those as the years go by.
At the '77 Nationals Tom Corbin left the Ray Marler 14 after Friday Night action (with a Saturday A starting spot of 6th, I believe) with a case of the "flu" and Boyd ran the Marler 14 to, if memory serves me correctly, the A Dash win and according to Open Wheel Times a 13th place A-Main finish.
Open Wheel Times shows Boyd in the Woodruff 21 finishing 15th behind a 14th place Jack McCorkell in the Woodke 98 at the '78 Nationals. Makes me wonder if there had been a rules change from the '77 deal and maybe Osborne drove as Boyd in '78, or just a scoring error?

Exactly what I was thinking. One of life's great mysteries. Why isn't Johnny Anderson in the sprint car hall of fame?
