The Valvoline Boys

Kurt Hall (60) leads Michael Martin (96), Britt Turkington (1), Ray Yoder (52) and Stevie Patterson (behind Yoder) in a WERA A Superstock race at Grattan Raceway in June of 1991. All but Yoder were Valvoline Suzuki riders. The team, owned by John Ulrich, dominated WERA sprint racing during that period. This was a Suzuki contingency race and Hall went on to win. Turkington crashed while trying to pass Martin for second.
