Ted Ballard
Frequently, the racers went to Antioch Parts Depot to get their parts when they were needed. The man running the business was Ted Ballard. Not only did Ted give them good deals on the parts they needed, he was also known to sponsor contingency prizes for the racers and even the occasional fan giveaway. He might even take a few dollars out of his pocket too add to the purse or a special race. Ballard was a fine example of somebody enthusiastic about the sport who may not have raced but would do what they could to help the racers.
He would also sponser finishes on any give night to the drivers who were not up front for example he may give a driver who finishes 7th place money or parts on several occasions
