COLUMBIA 200 - August 22, 1968

Stock Car Racing History

I had posted the following in the discussion 'Catamount Stadium Aug. 21, 1969' earlier regarding the Cougar & Camaro....

As for the sponsor on the car....

The Barbecue King Company, the original smokehouse in Greenville, SC.

Invented in 1954 by R.G. Wilson, founder of the original revolving oven.

Bud later drove a Camaro in the Grand Touring Series (car #1 as well) with the same sponsor that was dark colored. Looked very much like the A.J. King Charger he drove in Grand National Races

After 4 or 5 races in the Cougar, Lil' Bud went to the Camaro for just a few races (the one I'm refering to above).

Have a photo of the Camaro I'll try to to post tonight.

Thanks Dennis for the the photo !! (I had seen this one before on Getty Images).

I have newspaper accounts that this car was indeed built by "Big Bud" Moore.

Does anyone remember the lettering colors on this car.

But 1/3 of the field wasparked by Lap 8 (2 cars didn't even start). A lot of thesmall teams (drivers)had to do this back in the Day to make ends meet. Collect "Baloney money" & save the car at the smaller races to get to the bigger races where there was bigger payouts.

Dennis, love your coverage of the Grand Touring (Grand American) races here!!

The series never got the coverage & exposure it deserved!!

Please keep it up. They are most appreciated!!

By the way, I'm hoping one day to see a color photo or description of colors of a "Holy Grail" car of mine.... the Cougar that Lil' Bud Moore drove during the 1st few races of the '68 season.

Hoping one day to ask Lil' Bud, but don't know how to contact him..... Thanks!

Back in that era the maximun cubic inch was 430 for 1969 and 1970 rules.Ford had their Boss 429 engine they were using at the time.Terry Nichels (Ray Nichels' son) said Ray liked to do that just to jab the Ford guys.
