Description
Arnie âThe Farmerâ Beswick was called âthe consummate underdogâ by Hot Rod magazine. While there was good reason, there is much more to his unbelievable career.
Born a third-generation farmer in the small town of Morrison, Illinois, Arnie Beswickâs driving career began not behind the wheel of a straight-line terror but that of a tractor. On local dusty roads, Arnieâs budding reputation grew with street cars, as the âflying farmerâ was coined to describe his driving style. When drag racing began in the Midwest in the early 1950s, Arnie was one of the pioneers who campaigned Dodges and Oldsmobiles. In 1960, he purchased his first Pontiac and never looked back.
At the beginning, he didnât like the âfarmerâ nickname, but he quickly learned to utilize the name to lull his competition into complacency. After all, what could a simple farmer know of the world of high-performance drag racing? Throughout the 1960s, Arnieâs Mr. B's Passionate Poncho, Mystery Tornado, Star of the Circuit I and II, Tameless Tiger, and Super Judge all contributed to dispel the myth that a simple farmer couldnât dominate straight-line racing.
Arnie was an innovator, fierce competitor, entertainer and showman who always gave fans their moneyâs worth at the track. He is still brand loyal--sticking with Pontiac long after production models ceased. Arnie has always been a fan favorite for this reason, and he continues to exhilarate fans at the track with his cast of potent Pontiacs.
