Blogging series Christmas wish list

In 2013, I'm planning to do a series of blog posts about Grand National / Cup wins by Petty Enterprises drivers OTHER than The King. And as with my 200 Wins series about Richard's victories, I'd enjoy incorporating mementos and/or memories of RacersReunion members.

Please message me here or e-mail me at toomuchcountry (at) gmail (dot) com if you have something to share from victories by drivers in a Petty car including:

• Lee Petty
• Jim Paschal
• Marvin Panch
• Pete Hamilton
• Buddy Baker
• John Andretti
• Bobby Hamilton

I'm constantly combing the photo archives here. If I find something on the mark, I'll likely reach out to you to see if its OK to include. But I'm sure there is more out there - ticket stubs, programs, autographs, and best of all - personal memories.

Thanks. And Merry Christmas to all of you here.

I almost said it first, but bit my tongue since it wasn't the winning car! Thanks, PK!

"Any Day is Good for Stock Car Racing"

By the way, one article I read said that a fellow named Billy Biscoe crewed this 1974 Dodge out of the Petty stables in 1974. Chase, you've written in your blogs about the car at the 1974 Daytona 500. The various stories I read say that the "Almost Heaven, West Virginia " Dodge #04 raced by then 46 year old Hershel McGriff out of Bridal Veil, Oregon was a Petty Enterprises owned entry in 4 races, beginning with Hershel's 10th place finish at the Riverside Winston Western 500 and ending with the May 5th Winston 500 at Talladega. The car had funding from the West Virginia coal industry and Charleston, West Virginia businessmen.

Wonder if that Billy might be a Billy any of us would know? If so, it would be interesting to hear his comments.

That could be neat series in its own right - unique Petty cars. Gurney, Paschal, KPs Magnums, 1970 Ford, 1981 Mirada, 1967 RP script 43 font at Riverside, LeeRoy, etc. Hmm.
