Racing History Minute - 1962 Daytona 500


Stock Car Racing History

For the drag races, looks like they did indeed run down DIS' backstretch. But I can't find any results from the 2 nights of racing. Guessing the media called it a day after twins and modified-sportsman racing. The area also hosted non-NASCAR sanctioned drags at nearby Spruce Creek Airport. I can't find any results from those races either.

Racing History Minute - 1962 Daytona 500

From what I can tell, the midget races were at nearby Memorial Stadium - not DIS. They ran 3 nights, and Mel Kenyon swept the main all 3 nights.

(Sorry for the awkward formatting. I'm about to get on the chip about the difficulties in posting here. I've been patient, but frankly I'm sick and tired of wasting my time creating and editing contributions only to have them post as if I have no clue what I'm doing.)

Permanent "Late" Date for Daytona 500?


Current NASCAR

Well, this 2017 weekend seems to be a non-event when it comes to sports. Would've been a great weekend for Speedweeks to begin today followed by the 500 next Sunday.
