HIGHLIGHTS

Born in Truro, Gary spent much of his racing career in Ontario. He was 4 or 5 when he made his first connection with stock car racing when his father took the family to a stock car race one Saturday evening. The cars roaring around the oval were seared in his memories. His first chance to feel the excitement in a race car was July 29, 1967, in a Demolition Derby, in a field of 34 cars where his was the last one moving, so he was the winner. When the Mini Stock class was started at Cayuga Speedway, Gary built his first real race car, a Volkswagen, #36. Divisions he has raced in: Demolition Derbies, Mini Stock, Canadian Vintage Modifieds, Limited Late Models, Pro Late Models, OSCARR Modifieds, Pro Stock Tour, Classic Hot Rods. He has raced on 50 different race tracks and has 260 wins. He has been voted “Most Popular Driver” at least eight seasons by the fans. In 2016 he was inducted into the Flamboro Speedway Hall of Fame. In 2023, he was inducted into the Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame. Quaker State has sponsored Gary for 52 years – the longest driver/corporate sponsor relationship in racing. Gary is still racing.
