Jimmy Shampine patterned the new wedge design supermodified he built for the 1969 season after the wedge shaped STP Indy cars that were the rage at the time. Jimmy brought the car out in the middle of the 1969 season but did not compete with it himself until the 1970 season.

The car showed great potential, however, in the 1969 Classic when Irish Jack Murphy took the car from 30th starting position all the way to 9th in a matter of 50 laps before dropping out when a suspension part broke in the rear end.

Shampine redesigned the front end of the car during the winter of 69-70 and did away with the wedge design in favor of a more conventional front end.

Two weeks into the '70 season and the car won its first two features, he won both twin 50's that night. In the eight years that Jimmy campaigned this super he won an incredible 55 features, more than any other car has ever won. He also won 5 track championships with it and two International Classics. Jimmy also had several winning streaks with the famous 8 ball; four in a row in 1970, and seven in a row in 1974. With this car Jimmy also won the opening day show six years in a row from 1971 through 1976.

In the fall of 1977 Shampine sold this car to a young hopeful from Liverpool, N.Y. looking to make his mark in the supermodified racing world, Doug Heveron.

At only 16 years of age, Doug started out the 1978 season behind the wheel of this famous car. He made it all the way to the end of June until breaking his jaw in a crash in turn three and sat out the remaining races until Classic. Doug qualified the car for Classic and finished a respectable 13th.

Heveron campaigned this car the entire 1979 season and got two third place finishes that year, one of which was the Classic.

Tom Heveron, Doug's father and the man behind the team's efforts, had a new car built for Doug in 1980 and kept the Shampine chassis as a back up. Heveron only had to drive it once in 1980. They sold the car during the 1981 season to Tom Holly who drove it only once and sold it to Dave Loucks for the 1982 season. Loucks campaigned the car in 1982 and made three features in July and August before his untimely death (not racing related).

Local auto racing enthusiast Jim Paternoster, purchased the car from the Loucks estate and restored it to it's original condition and it now sits in a garage at the Paternoster residence awaiting the day that perhaps Oswego would have a racing museum.
