The date was September 25, 1960 at Martinsville Speedway. The cameras of WSLS Television catch RR member Rex White looking very shy and demure in victory lane with Miss Virginia after his #4 1960 Chevy beat Norfolk, Virginia's Little Joe Weatherly in the #12 Holman-Moody Ford.

Check out those huge tailfins on the Petty Plymouths!

From the University of Virginia archive of WSLS-TV sports and news footage.
