He saw his first Cup Series race in 1963, driving from snow-choked Erie, Pennsylvania, to watch Tiny Lund win the Daytona 500. He’s gone to races regularly ever since, visiting every venue multiple times. He was inducted last year into Darlington Raceway’s Fans Hall of Fame. In June, he was honored by Michigan International Speedway on the occasion of his 1,000th race.
Baumann realized in the mid-’90s that 1,000 was within reach. He lived a lifetime dream in ’04 by doing all 36 races, leaving Fridays and almost always being home Monday afternoons.
