That was a classic Mike, I think it was 1974. Dad had a front row seat so to speak. He was right behind Butch and Dale when Dale run Butch into and up on the wall coming off turn four. Neither one lifted. To this day it erk's Dad that he did not win that race.
Charlotte Sets Record

Bobby, I'd bet the farm that "the first NASCAR Grand National/Cup event since 1961 without a North Carolina driver in the field" was not an event held anywhere near North Carolina. The fact that this happened at Charlotte just adds insult to injury.

David, As a friend and I were walking through the infield that day we had to quickly get out of the way of Junior's hauler as it headed for the gate near the end of the back stretch. I remembered how DW had parked it to let Petty by and told my friend He's in big hurry, no way he went thru any inspection this fast, bet he was illegal. While listening to the radio on the way home we heard about the big engine. That confirmed it for me, DW was illegal too. I've always known I was right about that one.

John, The cars you describe sound like Nascar race cars but I have a picture of Roger Baldwin in a '56 Ford Crown Vic late model sportsman at the old Rockingham Speedway in 1962. Check out the photos on my page. Roger ran at the old dirt track from when when it opened in 1956 thru 1962. Found his name in several news clippings from those years. Ran across Don Bumgarder's name a few times too.

May I share a few moments that captures what This event means to the attendees.
The first happened three years ago. It was when Dad and Wanda "Lund" Early saw each other for the first time in over 35 years. Watching them renew an old friendship and remember Tiny was really special. They both told stories on one another and laughed about things they had forgotten.
The next moment was one I witnessed yesterday. While looking at pictures from back in the day at the speedway I noticed the name on the tag of the lady standing a few feet away, Mrs. J.T. Putney. As she turned around she came face to face with Jimmy Helms who had just stood up from setting at the end of the table. She looked up at him and without saying a word reached up and turned around his name tag. Jimmy smiled and politely waited for an introduction. Still without a word she picked up her name tag and showed it to him. Jimmy's face lit up as they hugged. Not wanting to intrude on a private moment I turned and walked away thinking "That is what makes these events so special".

Dave, Did you meet Glenn McDuffie? When I looked for you to tell you he was there I couldn't find you, guess you had left already. It was great to have met you in person.
