I miss those big Falstaff beer billboards that used to sit outside turn 4 at Darlington and Rockingham.

Yep, that's the Falstaff billboard I remember from Darlington. Thanks.

If that's the 1966 Southern 500, I was there. We thought Richard had it won, until a late tire issue and the win by Darel Dieringer in the Bud Moore Comet.

From what I read, James Climer driving for Stutts Motorsports and sponsored by Falstaff was quite a force in middle Tennessee racing in the 70s:
