Did You Ever Score a Race? I'll Never Do It Again
General
i equate scoring with jury duty. i've done both and neither one bothered me. i tried to look at both from a point of view that it was something i usually didn't do and may never do again.
What Make & Model Automobile would you have liked to have seen more in Cup Racing?
General
i saw that cougar at the charlotte test. really cool to see something that different.
i agree about the caprice. if you watch the early lapsof the 1979 daytona 500, you can see dave marcis running in the lead draft with his captice. marcis would later win with another unusual bowtie,a malibu, at the 1982 richmond 400.
the 1959 daytona 500 would have to be the best race of all time for brand diversity. the speedway offered all kinds of incentives to manufacturers to showcase their current model year machines. lee petty won the race in a new olds 88for what i believe was the only victoty by the 1959 edition of that make.ford was represented by t-bird, galaxie, and ( one) edsel. joining in were chevrolet impala, pontiac catalina, and single car entries forstudebaker lark and desoto.

Phoenix Still Lacking
General
the race actually improved as more rubber was put down. i liked it much better than the old phoenix. let's give the new configuration a chance.

well, at least we remember it that way.
When Did "Alternate" Starters Disappear in NASCAR?
General
an interesting sidenote to the petty story in that richmond event. a consolation race was run for all non-qualifiers for what i believe was the last time ever. petty was eligible to run but chose not to compete. only five cars started the ill advised affair. bill meachum won with j.d. mcduffie second. BTW kyle petty and hut sticklin were also DNQ's that chose to skip the consolation tilt.
