Before Ricky Rudd drove his own #10 Tide Machine, the #10 had been driven in GN racing for a number of years by Ricky's uncle, Bill Champion:
Ricky would make his first Cup start in 1975 at Rockingham, driving the Bill Champion owned #10.

R.I.P., H.B.
"Our sport was built by people like H.B. Bailey," said Richard Petty, who raced alongside him for years. "We all did things the same way in those days - we drove ourselves to the race track, we worked hard when we got there, we raced hard and then we drove home. H.B. was a racer through and through, and the sport is better off because he was a part of it. We will miss him."
