Muhlke was a winner at most of the Chicago area tracks, including Riverview, Expo Park in Aurora, Raceway Park, Soldier Field and the five-eighths oval in Hammond, Ind. Retiring from racing, Muhlke operated the Clover Club in Skokie, Ill. Muhlke passed away in Florida in 1973. Photographer Ed Kirchner grabbed this close-up shot of Bob Muhlke at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
