Just got home from Daytona's race last night and about 12 hours on the road today. I'm tarred .
So here is the short, sweet and simple version of today's Petty focus.
July 7, 1956 - Lee Petty won at Piedmont Interstate Fairgrounds in Spartanburg. That's all I've got for now. Read on for ...the rest of the story.

Get some rest, Chase. That's too much driving for me these days. Over and over Spartanburg played a major role in NASCAR's history. Thanks for the post.
Great job, as usual, even if you are "tarred". Great to have you back. I'm betting you enjoyed that race. It was a good one to watch, although, like all restrictor plate races, I sit on the edge of the chair waiting for the "big one" and praying no one gets hurt. I sure hope Hamlin is ok but I can't help but wonder how he made it through that one without more injury. Wasn't it a back problem that finally put David Pearson on the sideline? Seems to me he told me that when I interviewed him on my radio show back in 1994.
