Gary Reddick

Gary Reddick (August 19, 1938 – August 6, 2014) was a Canadian driver of modified stock cars. Equally adept on both dirt and asphalt surfaces, he captured 7 track titles and nearly 200 feature wins in the northeastern United States and the southeastern Canada.

Racing career Reddick was born in Ottawa, Canada, and as a teenager moved with his family to a farm in Depauville, New York, a small hamlet with just one service station. John Geng, the station's owner, fielded a car numbered Suzy-0 at the Watertown Speedway and eventually added the S-1 and S-2 to the stable. Reddick joined the pit crew in 1959, and by the end of the 1960 season, was driving the S-3. The following season, the S-3 became his enduring V-3.

In 1967, Reddick and fellow racer Dutch Hoag were credited with saving the life of veteran racer Billy Blum in a fiery crash at Fulton Speedway. Eleven years later, Reddick was faced with a similar situation at Can-Am Speedway, where he and driver Lew Miller pulled driver Kurt Bronson out of his burning car, although Bronson succumbed to his injuries weeks later.

Reddick was inducted into the Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame in 2010.
