Nance Speed Equipment 1973 Pillow

After messing around with friend's midget racers, LaVern Nance fielded a series of his own home-brewed supermodifieds and as store bought racing parts weren't a thing in those days, he made his own. Much to everyone's surprise, his cars would run up an impressive string of victories against even the most well sponsored competitors. Sprint car fever bit Nance in the early '70s, and he had built his first sprint car in '72 - a meticulously constructed black outlaw racer that would dominate racetracks everywhere. The more Nance won, the more people wanted his speed parts, so in 1973, Nance Speed Equipment was born, and he began selling his machined parts as well as advanced chassis kits and complete roller packages.
