It's always intriguing when you hear someone referred to as a legend and you've never heard of them. Even a basic Google search of Stan Bowman doesn't reveal much, the results dominated by a hockey exec who is the son of an NHL icon. Perhaps that's because Bowman was a real-life example of Roy Hobbs of "The Natural" if he'd never returned to the game. In the summer of 1962 Bowman was a sprint car rookie who'd just been signed to one of the best teams in the premier National Championship series, the precursor to today's IndyCar.
