koab26 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO SOME OF THE GUYS THAT RAN FOR OR WERE SPONSORED BY CRESWELL WRECKER SERVICE? THEY WERE LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THE DRIVERS WERE AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW? I WAS A YOUNG BLACK KID THAT LIVED ON THE NORTHSIDE OF SAN ANTONIO BUT USED TO GO TO THEIR WRECKER SERVICE TO SOMETIMES GET PARTS OR BUY A CAR FROM THEM. MY NAME IS WILLIS PRICE AND I WENT TO SCHOOL AT ALAMO HEIGHTS IN THE VERY EARLY SEVENTIES MY NICK NAME WAS DYNAMITE, TODAY I RACE DIRT CARS IN THE IMCA.

lenny66 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Willis, Creswells Wrecker Service belonged to my uncle Richard Villanueva. He and my Aunt Bea sold the business and retired. Richard & Bea are still involved in racing on a smaller scale now. They helped out alot of racers over the years. They still do some sponsorships with the Texas Pro Sedans. As for the drivers they sponsored. Richards brother "Burrhead" (SAS) retired from racing, Ken Neal (TIDA) retired from racing, Not sure what happended Beaver Stelzig, Donny Horelka. Joe Aramendia got a start from Uncle Richard and has had a very successful run in many different ranks of local racing and NASCAR. He is currently sponsoring himself and a nephew in a series. I drove Burrheads old #00 for two seasons at SAS 94-95, and Richards Pro Sedan for a couple of seasons. The shop was located at 114 Brooklyn St right off of 281.

txtom Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 When I said a frontrunner, I did not mean the front runner class. I know what class Wade runs in; the car he runs originally came from our old race shop in Austin. (Special Automotive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
