Tom Bigelow is recognized as one of the greatest sprint car drivers in history, but these days you’ll find him holding a paintbrush instead of a steering wheel.

For the first time since 2019, non-wing pavement sprint cars will thunder around the high banks of Winchester Speedway. The event will be named in honor of Tom Bigelow, a key contributor to bringing sprint cars back to Winchester.
