Inscription.
Born here in Brownsburg. Robbie Stanley wanted nothing more than to drive race cars, and drive them well. In his brief life, he far exceeded those expectations. At only 6, he was 69 racing quarter midgets. He was spectacular, winning over 200 races and the National Championship in 1980. His stunning success paved the way for his advancement. And, with the support of his parents, Ron and Rita, at 16 Robbie was ready for the next rung up the racing ladder, sprint cars. Victory didn't come easily, but he persisted.

That tenacity, merged with superb talent, earned him the 1989 All-Stars Championship. In 1991 he moved to USAC's fierce sprint car competition. Undaunted, he won his first time out, and took the National title! He repeated as champion in 1992 and 1993, in the Hoffman #69. In 1994, chasing his 4th title, we lost him on May 26. He attained great success, but it was his outgoing, caring nature that fans and competitor alike loved. Though only 26, Robbie had lived life to the fullest, with no regrets.
