National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame
Mike McGreevy
Inducted into
the Hall of fame in 1987
 |
The 1965 and 1966
USAC National Midget Champion stood 5’1” tall and with his
explosive driving style earned the nickname “Dyna-Mike” from
his many fans. He was a great ambassador of the sport,
attending fan club meetings and always making himself
available to the kids who could identify with him because of
his small size.
McGreevy won the Bay Cities Racing Association midget
title in 1958, 1960 and 1962 as well as the BCRA
|
|
Indoor crown in
1965, the year he was given a ride in the Kenyon Brothers
midget when Mel was injured in a big car at Langhorne, PA.
Mike drove midgets for some of the top owners of
Indianapolis cars, but was never able to get a good Speedway
ride. Such was not the story in the small cars. Among his
owners were Al Dean, Myron Caves, Dick and Owen Kincaid and
Howard Linne.
Among his 33 USAC career midget feature wins were the
“Hut Hundred” in 1968 and the “Night Before the 500” in 1967.
McGreevy remained in top form until he retired a year
after his car owner, Ed Lark, died of a heart attack. He
married Ed’s widow, Betty, and together they raise horses in
Florida.
