While going through some old articles I ran across the name of Sandy Lynch. He was described as a long time stock car driver and promoter from Winston-Salem, N.C.. The article was from June of 1956.

Can anyone tell me more about Mr. Lynch?

Thanks Dave, I have found Mr. Lynch's name in a few articles posted by Robert Mitchell from Peace Haven and Bowman Gray. It says there he was from Jacksonville Fla.

Dennis, Mr. Sandy Neal Lynch was born in Jacksonville, Florida 5-24-1922 and had 2 Nascar starts, Both in 1951 when he was 29 yrs old. He started 32th and finished 66th. at Darlington and fell out with a DNF after 215 laps. His only other start was at the old Macon Speedway and he was credited with a 0 lap and DNF. He would be 90 today so its possible he's still with us. I have many friends in the Jacksonville Stock Car Hall of Fame and will see if I can find anything else out about Mr. Lynch.

On a totally unrelated subject, when did they take that crossover bridge, shown in the photo, down ?
