Listening to the Bobby Williamson's Ghost Track segment on Racer's Reunion Radio and mentions of the old Concord, NC track made me think how much I used to enjoy seeing the "GASCAR" sanctioning name in the racing papers, which was the Concord, NC promoter John Gaskey's name to irritate NASCAR. In looking up GASCAR and John Gaskey, I was directed right back to Stock Car Racers Reunion and a post by Billy & Barbara Scott with all sorts of neat stuff about Concord and Mr. Gaskey, including a poem written about him. Here is the very worthwhile link to what Billy & Barbara posted:

You'll see on the old Concord program cover posted by Billy & Barbara the "GASCAR" sanctioning name. I bet the Frances choked every time they saw it!
