Today, Heart of a Champion proudly salutes one of the original Riverside International Speedway modified ‘hot shoe’ drivers, Joe Baker! Joey was one of the pioneers of the sport during the 60s, racing at Fraser Mountain, Riverside, and Havre Boucher, against the likes of Jr. Hanley, Laurie Roue, and Rollie MacDonald! Joe was an accomplished driver and can be easily remembered for driving the ‘PT 109’ to many feature wins! Joe made his name in racing when the size of a driver’s ambition won features! Joey and his wife are still very supportive of the local racing scene by not missing a race at Riverside! Joey the racing community thanks you for all your efforts! You have the Heart of a Champion! 🙂 Photo credit: Ken MacIsaac
