Anyone hear if a guy named Al Spears (spelling might be wrong) who raced Pontiacs in the 60's and 70's in Michigan.

Was he related to "Bill Spears" who raced Bigelow Field - Grand Rapids area?
"...Big Bill Spears had a close call once when coming out of turn four. He was crossed up and broke loose.

Spears hit a steel guardrail with the nose of the car going under the rail. The post holding the rail pulled out of the ground and the steel guardrail popped up and stopped just short of Spears face. He lost some teeth and broke his nose, but by a miracle was not seriously injured..."
