You'll have to be old, like me, and from the Missouri area to probably remember these: "Torch" and "Spark" Alshire. Kevin, do you still read this board? Didn't your dad and Torch have some classic battles? Thanks Mike, I knew I had heard the "Hurryin' Hoosier." Oh, and how about Cliff "Woody" Woodward.

On Tuesday, we had Jason Johnson on "Winged Nation" and I LOVE his nickname "The Ragin Cajun".....hope you listened to the show, if you missed it here is a link:
http://www.motorracingnetwork.com/Media-Center/Audio/Winged-Nation.aspx
And, that got us thinking about great sprint car nicknames and some of the stories behind them. Here is a list that was tweeted to us:
“Ragin Cajun” – Jason Johnson
“Wild Child” – Jac Haundenschild
“Fast” Freddie Rahmer
“The Apollo Rocket” – Ed Lynch
“The Hammer” – Doug Esh“
Thr Jet” – Jeff Shepherd
“The Man from Mifflintown” – Keith Kauffman
Cliff “Grandstand” Doil – named after flipping his car into the stands
“Slammin’” Sammy Swindell
Danny “Catfish” Lasoski
So, what are your favorites that we've missed here?

I know some people call Danny Lasoski "Catfish" cause he usually runs the bottom, but he will always be "The Dude" to me.
I skimmed through and maybe I missed it but I didn't see:
Rick Ferkel "The Ohio Traveller",
Steve "The King" Kinser,
"Smoke" Do I have to say anymore?
and on a more regional level,
"Flyin'" Ryan Jamison.
I might be able to come up with some more let me think about it.
