Stock Car Racing History

Dave...nice write up.

B&R did field/sponsor some other cars (not currently) before and after '63/'64, but nothing on the Grand National level. One of those drivers (Danny Collins) was also killed on his personal time in the '70s. Also, Robinson never went by "Red" that anyone in either family remembers...he went by Bob.

Some other drivers were:

Tommy Irwin

Bill Dennis

Lennie Pond

Danny Collins

Billy "The Kid" Ingle
