Doug Caruthers

At the time of his induction into the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1993, Doug Caruthers held the title as the most victorious midget car owner in USAC history with 98 feature wins. He also won the National Midget Owners Championship in 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1978.
Caruthers owned the Viking Trailer Company in Anaheim, California and fielded a midget driven by a young leadfoot named Jimmy Bryan.

In the early 1950s, he built a quarter-midget track on the Viking property and named it the Jellybean Bowl. The track was a training ground for his two sons, Jimmy and Danny, who went on to become USAC National Midget Champions in 1970 and 1971 respectively. Today the site is still dedicated to kids; it is called Disneyland!
In a twist of irony, Danny was killed at the end of the 1971 season after he had sewed up the Midget Championship, and Jimmy died from cancer in 1975 after winning the Silver Crown title. Doug won the Midget Owners Championship for the fourth time in 1978 while battling cancer, and like his sons before him, also died before the Victory Banquet was held.
