Need some help from the old time historians. For years I've been looking for a copy of a photo that ran on the cover of the old "STOCKCAR RACING" magazine. I think it was at Daytona and it was Tommy Ellis on his side between A J Foyt and another car on the outside at speed.
Be happy to pay for a copy. Dave, Tim?
Wish I could help. I did a very limited search and see this b&w of Tommy in a 125 at Daytona in 1987 in the Freedlander car and also found a video. I'm guessing this is the crash? That would limit the search to a 1987 edition of SCR.
May 1987 SCR - several copies available for sale on ebay.
If you need the actual photo, you might check with Don Smyle at smylemedia.com. If this photo was taken by Don Hunter, Smyle likely has it available in his collection for licensing.
Chase, you are the man!
Thanks much. Have sent a request to Smyle. Owe ya one Chase, you too Dave!
Found the mag on ebay and bought it! Now if I can get a clear photo from Smyle I'll be in tall cotton. Thanks again
tha car on the outside is jim sauter dont remember who was in the 50 car
The #50 was Greg Sacks in the Dingman Brothers Pontiac.
Ironically (or not) Sauter would later start one Cup race for the Dingman Brothers in 1989.

Sauter Expected To Drive Dingmans' Pontiac In Pepsi 400
By Beth Rhodes of The Sentinel Staff, June 28, 1989
With qualifying two days away, the Dingman Brothers Racing team announced Tuesday that Jim Sauter will be behind the wheel of their Pontiac when practice opens today for the Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Well, maybe.Sauter was en route from Michigan, where he had been setting up IROC cars, to Virginia, to work on another race deal, when John Erickson of Pontiac Motorsports called his Necedah, Wis., home to offer him the ride in the Dingman's car.''So far he doesn't know he's supposed to go down there,'' said his wife, Penny, as she awaited his call Tuesday to tell him to head to Daytona.
