This page is devoted to Tributes to our fallen Supermodified heros and includes the Jim Shampine section at the bottom of this page.


Below is the list I have compiled so far of supermodified drivers that have left us. To help fill in the blanks, I encourage contributions in the way of personal stories, original images, and factual information, ie: dates of birth and passing. This (unfortunately) will be an on-going project, and cannot be considered a complete list of drivers that have left us.
I am especially interested in learning more about some of the less high-profile drivers. Much has been written about Jim Shampine, Nolan Swift and others, but I may need your help in posting well-deserved pages for so many of the other drivers on this list.
Most of the names below are now linked to completed or semi-completed pages. All are listed alphbetically by first name.
There are a few drivers listed that were not supermodified drivers, they just meant a lot to me...
Please JakesSite.com if you have any corrections or additions regarding this list.
