Years ago Hollywood Heyden asked some of the Meadowlands drivers colony who were the top five drivers of all time.  This is what they said

I rank them on how calm they were when under the gun in the biggest races.
Campbell -no one close when the most was on the line.
Pierce- never carried a bad race from one drive to the next big drive.
LaChance - his confidence was his best attribute when the money was on the line.
DMiller - clam n cool regardless if he had a fav or not when the money was on the line.
Herve- he was just unshakable for over 3 Decades.

Russell Rash......Andrew Kelson.......Davi d Dunkley.......Mer it Dokey.   Andrew Bruce Kelson, (80) of Franklin, Massachusetts, passed away on June 26, 2023, after a 6-year private battle with cancer.  Andy was born to Samuel and Dorothy Kelson, on April 10, 1943, in Bronx, NY. After graduating from Pace University in New York City, he went into harness horse racing and was an owner, trainer, and driver at Foxboro Raceway. After retiring from racing, he and his wife, Claire, opened up Franklin Lighting Center in Franklin, MA which they successfully ran for almost 30 years. It was eventually taken over by their long-time employee and friend, David Simpson.

David Dunckley was a nice guy, who tried hard and meant well and died very young leaving behind a family without much. Mean to mock his memory on here.
