I raced against and knew most of those mentioned in the above article.
I learned about how to build a stock car by hanging around Buddy Teasley's Garage.
Jimmy was one of my heroes.
I learned a lot from him.

Harvey,
You understand, but unfortunately there are not many of us left that do.
Big Bill, back in the early 50s used all kinds of tricks to promote Stock Car Racing.
Stock Car Racing History
When he opened Champion Speedway in Fayetteville NC, he made the announcement that ****(I cant remember his name) The NASCAR Sportsman West Virginia State Champion would be racing. I later found out that NASCAR had only one(1)race the previous year in West Virginia andonly 8 cars entered the race (4 were running at the finish).He won! he finished last at Fayetteville.
He was a real promoter. I really admired that man!
