On this date, August 18, in 1963, Mario "Fats" Caruso won the huge Trenton 200 NASCAR Modified-Sportsman race over Ray "Mr. Modified" Hendrick . A stellar "Who's Who" of driving talent from up and down the eastern seaboard contested the race of the year for the NASCAR Modified-Sportsman drivers. Haven't found a write-up, but results below are from Ultimate Racing History. If anyone finds a news clip(s), please post.

Exactly 5 years later - on August 18, 1968, Ray Hendrick would lead Richmond, Virginia's Southside Speedway contingent to 5 of the top-6 positions at Trenton as he charged from 19th position in the 60-car field to beat Alabama's Red Farmer .
