Marvin is remembered for driving his stock car #30 and winning!! He was a true champ!! His trophies are on display at the race car museum in Chapman, Kansas for all to see. Then there is Dawson, Marvin's grandson, not only his grandson but his best buddy. As Dawson races around the race track in his car #30, his grandpa will always be his biggest fan.
