The Petersen family was involved in racing at Tunis Speedway, Waterloo, Iowa for a number of years. Harry (Junior), Gene and cousin Babe Marquand had distinctive checkboard tops on their cars so everyone would know when the Petersens were on the track. Shown is Harry Petersen (known as Junior) in June 1957 winning a feature race at Tunis Speedway. For more information on the Tunis Speedway see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE6lnxr84is
