    That old # 3 later became Scott Tanzillo's #48, and won many a race at Illiana in the Sports Stock division. Two great drivers, 1 great car.

      I loved Kemperman ... and those dimples! My then husband was a mechanic for Paul Bauer (33). Him and Jerry were always a good time when they were together.
