Marchbanks inducted into West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame
Monday, April 16, 2012 at 8:57 PM The West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame has announced B.L. Marchbanks will be part of its 2012 class of inductees.
Marchbanks will be included as part of the Phoenix hall's "historic division" governing people from 1930-1970.
Hall of Fame Chairman Ken Clapp said of the nominees, "In some cases these gentlemen are nearly forgotten ..."
Indeed.
Kudos to the hall for recognizing Marchbanks later rather than never.
Here's a video of Clapp remembering Marchbanks, although it should be noted most of the accompanying visuals have nothing to do with Marchbanks or the speedway.
