Joy Fair drove the school bus yellow #1 ARCA Late Model to hundreds of feature wins throughout the Midwest in the 60s and 70s. His car owners were Dearborn Crankshaft (later Moldex Crank) proprietor William “Gilly” Gillelan and Russell Wainscott, and the trio was nearly unbeatable throughout those decades. They won seven Toledo Speedway ARCA Late Model championships in 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1974.
