Did Buddy Shuman Really Have A Racing Brother?

I've read just about everything out there about Buddy Shuman. I've never seen a word about him having a brother that looked just like him and also raced. Just recently a friend of the Bill Blair family showed some of their photos of the Tri-City Speedway from the late '40s, one photo was of Buddy with his car, another was a man with his car labeled "Bobby Shuman". Did Buddy have a racing brother Bobby? They do look like brothers... almost twins. Or was this just a mistake, or another unrelated guy named Shuman?

I've seen a few articles where Buddy was switched to Bobby - even as late as early 70s when Tiny Lund won the memorial race at Hickory.

But based on the page for Buddy at FindAGrave, I don't think there was a Bobby Shuman - at least not one related to Buddy. Neither of his siblings listed have Bobby as a nickname or Robert or Bob as their given name.

Thanks, Chase. The link is good evidence there was no "Bobby" Shuman.

I think whoever was labeling the photo just made a mistake (well, two). He does look like Buddy. Plus the added Buddy/Bobby misprint.

I would still love to know the real identity of the #26 driver, so I'll leave this post up for a while to see if another can recognize him. After that, I'll delete it.

From 1941...

...and from 1973.
