Connett was equally at home on both surfaces. He was an 8-time NARC sprint car

events at the San Jose Fairgrounds track featured Leroy Van Connett & Jimmy
Sills Howard Kaeding & Nick Rescino head to head in dirt sprint racing.

Leroy was also elected to the Motorsports Press Association (MSPA) Hall
Of Fame in 1994.
