Longtime Pro Modified standout Check Weck jumped in the seat of Mark Pappas’ crowd-favorite "Grumpy's Toy XVI" 1980 Camaro which was originally handled by Bill Jenkins, Ray Allen and Joe Lepone. In match race trim with an original Formula 5000 road racer air scoop, it was one of the top draws of its time. Weck made it to the final before suffering “death by holeshot” courtesy of Ted Peters.
