Harold "Harry" Peek (April 12, 1945 – February 5, 1998) was an American stock car driver. Track announcers coined his driving style as the "Patented Peek Charge", as he would wait until the end of the race to make his move to victory.[1]
Harry Peek began racing in the support division at Lebanon Valley Speedway in 1966. He moved to late model division at Fonda Speedway in 1968, capturing 23 feature wins in a little over three years and a division championship in 1969.[1]
The following year, Peek stepped up to the modified division, winning his first feature. He went on to win the Fonda track championships in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976. Peek also found success at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta NY, Devil's Bowl Speedway in West Haven VT, Rolling Wheels Raceway in Elbridge NY, and the Weedsport Speedway NY.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Harry Peek was inducted into the New York State Stock Car Association Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame in 2003.[1]
