Raleigh Sandberg
Many of you knew Raleigh Sandberg from his days wheeling a 360 Sprint Car around Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Raleigh had been retired from racing for several years but would still make it to some of the races. The last time I talked to him was the summer of 2006 at Cedar Lake Speedway at one of the Sprint Car shows. Raleigh had hauled a triailer of parts from Long Prairie and was staying at a motel up inOsceola.
He was having trouble with a stubborn oil leak on his truck that would have drove me crazy but Raleigh just laughed about it. We lost Raleigh suddenly due to illness on March 6, 2007. All of the Sprint Car people in this area lost a good friend, rest in peace Raleigh.

Billy Anderson of Dayton, MN lost a long battle with complications from a sprint car accident at the Knoxville Raceway in June of 1998 as he passed away due to Meningitis on Friday evening October 19th. Billy was surrounded by his ever faithful, loving wife Jenny, and his family and friends at the time. The following is an interview with Jenny and Billy by Justin Zoch during the time Billy was recovering at home following the accident. The dream that he would race again someday kept Billy going during the difficult time following his accident. Thanks to the racing community for all the help and assistance that was extended to Billy and Jenny. The Billy Anderson Memorial each April at the Cedar Lake Speedway honors Billy's career as a Sprint Car driver and the impact he made on the Minnesota racing scene.
