Jan Opperman, born February 9, 1939 is a former sprint car driver from Beaver Crossing, NE. Opperman, who competed in one Sprint Cup event, died on September 4, 1997. The race happened in 1974, when Opperman competed at Pocono Raceway. Starting 14th in the event, Opperman drove a solid race and came home four laps down. That was good enough for eighth, in just Opperman's debut. Oddly, Opperman did not race again. Stats
