Absolutely deserves a hand, kudos Chase. Dave and Tim take a bow also. You three guys put a lot on history in front of a lot of us that either do not have time to look it up, don't know how or where to look or are just too lazy, either way thanks for the learning.

Kyle Petty and Paula Deen related?

Current NASCAR

Kyle is right on when he says " Richard Petty and I are two different people!!!!

Now that was a real piece of history trivia Dave! You would have thought that the "wrasslin" and racing would have gone hand in hand in that era. Or maybe not, I think that the stock car drivers were more bare knuckles than wrestling. Then again....so were the wrestlers, ha!

I have at least a little knowledge of all the drivers listed with the exception of Jeff Hawkins. Can someone fill me in with any info on that driver?

Bobby, Dave, after further review I do believe you are correct. I went and got there right after qualifying. For some strange reason I thought it was a late model. As far as Earl being the Arnold goes,I left the track, drove 1.5 Hrs to get home all the while thinking I had witnessed a real longevity feat. One hell of an assumption on my part I guess. Strange that I remember forty yrs back and at the same time do not know who I even saw last nite! I either was not paying the same level of attention as I did as a kid or either it was the announcers fault. Yep that' it, it was the announcer! Thanks for filling us in with the complete rundown. It is official, the air is gone outta that balloon.

Thanks Jack, this is the car and the man. For the life ofMe I cannot understand where I got the idea that the car was Maroon and white. The tobacco leaf and Tarboro,NC are the dead give away that I remember. This is exactly why this site is so great! Old people pulling together for the preservation of the good old times.

Bobby I remember this decal also but not sure where I first saw it. I am sure it was about that time frame. I do remember John bringing Glenn Simpkins along in a coupe #21 to the beach I think was the number andalso brought Don Macon along in a red coupe #4. Made for bad days for Hoss, Stan Grimsley, Frank Irving,Jackie, Don Hill and old "spin out"Spud long in the Ball's Texaco car. Ole KEn Klutz from Salisbury was my favorite in the #20 Forty Ford sedan. Liked James Roy Croom's # 80 "the pink lady" coach as well.
