Not being a nit-picker but I think both have on drivers uniforms. Darrel's being Goodyear and Juniors a Firestone. The car is also a 1965 Galaxie and if memory serves me correctly Darels win was in a Fairlane after the cars were downsized.

Hi Randy, Thanks for your comment. It was Junior's car Darel raced in and it was Junior's 1st year as a owner. I cannot tell you who's car they are sitting on or why Junior was wearing what he is wearing in this photo, but I know he (Darel) won in a Ford.
