Does anyone knows who gets the DIXIE CUP TROPHY Sept. 3,1962? Driver? Car owner? Mechanic?

Please forgive me, I no way want to get anybody mad or hurt anybody's feelings by asking these questions??

Didn't Larry Frank win any other trophies on Sept. 3,1962 besides the big tall "Southern 500" trophy?

Sometimes you see old Sept. 3,1962 "Southern 500" victory lane photos of the Junior Johnson being surrounded by 4 or 5 trophies and being kissed by beauty queens.LOL

Because of NASCAR Scoring Mistake Sept. 3,1962 "Southern 500" winner Larry Frank didn't get the Victory Lane photo shots, didn't get beauty queen kisses and might had been short change in trophies department??
Thank you very much for any information given.

I remember the Dixie Cup plant in Darlington. "Save your Dixie Cups, the South will rise again," used to be a popular saying!

This link will take you to story announcing the Dixie Cup Trophy in 1962:

Lord..have mercy...you are as the Reverend would say, a PURE-T mess!! I remember that, but had forgotten it...LOL

Dennis, I'll have Chrissy and Tiger Tom come take a look at these, they might know the answer....

Patsy, the story link I posted above states the trophy originated in 1962 and was to be kept at the Dixie Cup Office in Darlington. A smaller replica was to be presented the Southern 500 winner, again beginning in 1962.

This photo has both regular size trophies, Dixie Cup Trophy on the right is about 2 Feet Tall. This trophy was used for Victory Lane photo shots with winning driver holding it and beauty queens smiling / kissing winning driver. This trophy stays at Dixie Cup / American Can Co., home office in Darlington, SC.

Wonder what happen to the regular 2 ft. tall size Dixie Cup Trophy?
Thanks very much for any information given.
