Rollie Beale won USAC’s prestigious National Sprint Car championship in 1973 and scored 32 race victories during his illustrious career. One of the most respected drivers in USAC history, Rollie retired in 1977 and joined the USAC officiating crew, eventually becoming chief steward for both the Silver Crown and National Sprint Car series for many years. In 1991 he was awarded USAC’s Ross Hadley award for dedication to the sport. A competitor in USAC Championship cars as well, he posted a ninth place at Trenton, N.J. in 1968. He is listed 10th in the all-time USAC Sprint Car winners list and was enshrined in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1996. Arguably, one of his biggest career wins came in the prestigious "Little 500" at Anderson, Ind. in 1966. He passed away at the age of 84 this February.
