Former sprint car driver Frank Riddle died Wednesday afternoon in hospice care. He was 78. One of the most accomplished
drivers in sprint car racing, Riddle was inducted into the Little 500 Hall of Fame in Anderson, Ind., in 1996. The first
Floridian to receive that honor, Riddle is a two-time winner (1984 and '85) and five-time polesitter (1980, 1983-86).
The race is held annually during Memorial Day weekend, the day before the Indianapolis 500 some 30 miles away. Riddle
began his career at Phillips Field in Tampa in a 1935 Ford Coupe and won his first race March 3, 1951, setting a track
record. Riddle, who was born in Jacksonville, raced at Tampa's Gold Gate Speedway in the 1960s. He won 95 features with
the Tampa Bay Area Racing Association during the 1970s and '80s. In 1980, at age 51, Riddle became the oldest rookie of
the year in USAC. He retired from racing in 1997 having won more than 250 feature races in 48 years.
