The Gardners are legends in the sprint car world. They had from 1 to 5 cars on the track from week to week for years until the family business went south. After Brad Noffsinger retired and moved on and Jack Sr stepped back where Jack Jr became the leader of the pack, the family moved back East for a few years before returning and doing well with Blake Miller and many others. The last of the mohicans, Ronnie, came along at just the time there was no family business to support his racing, but he has carved out something for himself with his midget championships and has been getting rides in a 410 sprint car regularly in 2017. There are so many stories behind the Gardner name, I only wish I knew them so I could relate, but they were a badass family who took on the world and often won!
