The February 1, 1950 edition of the Daytona Beach Morning Journal revealed that driver Fireball Roberts had sworn off any more pre-race kisses from a blonde Tar Heel fan. She'd kissed him 3 times before a race and he'd crashed 3 times.
Three days after the article, Fireball finished 2nd behind Gober Sosebee in the NASCAR Modified race on the beach at Daytona, followed by Bob Flock , Joe Jernigan , Fonty Flock , Curtis Turner and Dick Blackwell .
