Bob Seelman

Bob's interest in oval track racing came about in 1959 when he helped owner Joe Beech and driver Howard Metzmaker with their modified. He began driving himself in 1960 after building his own modified, with the help of fellow driver Harry Chapman, in Chapman's garage.
Bob was a regular competitor at Lansing Speedway, Capital City Speedway, Dixie Motor Speedway, Galesburg Speedway, Grand Rapids Speedrome, Berlin Raceway, Toledo Speedway, Sandusky Speedway, Delaware Speedway (London, Ontario), and Oswego Speedway (Oswego, New York).

Bob made his first of many trips to Phoenix International Raceway in October 1970. He set fast time of 30:00 flat (a new track record) almost half a second faster than the next qualifier a time which would have put him in the middle of the Indy car field.
In 1964 Bob lost the point championship at Dixie Speedway by one point to Wayne Landon. He was leading in points at Delaware Speedway (Ontario) in 1972 when the super modifieds were suddenly discontinued. He was the 1975 point champion at Sandusky Speedway (Ohio) and was second in points there in 1979.

Bob has raced USAC Sprint cars and ASA stock cars. He has over 60 feature wins to his credit. His racing career has taken him to all four corners of the United States racing at more than 75 tracks in 21 states and two Canadian provinces and is not done yet.
