The 43 will NOT race at Martinsville this weekend
Current NASCAR
Chase... you could build a good trivia question around the fact that there were TWO Winston Western 500s at Riverside in 1981... January and November!

I was at that Riverside race, but didn't remember the number swap.
Pretty cool - I got to see Chief run #41 at my first ever NASCAR race on march 14, 1964 at Richmond.
The driving suit is that unusual color so the stains didn't show when Cale & Earnhardt bumped DW.
Ironic that after all the grief Bud Moore gave Banjo Matthews about Bobby Isaac's slow qualifying time at Rockingham in October 1972 that Isaac would wind up driving for Moore in 1973.
I am assuming that since the Modified race had an advertised 8pm start, that confirms it being a night race.
Sandeep. I was a young lad who had just turned 13 when the photo above of June Wilkinson was taken. I remember her being touted as "The Blonde Bombshell" here in the U.S. and she had appeared in several issues of Playboy, the American men's magazine. At that point in time, U.S. race promoters were often bringing fringe Hollywood actresses like Jayne Mansfield and June to the races as publicity gimmicks. Don't know if June permanently relocated or not to U.S.
Talk about a weak memory... appears I have asked the question previously! Can't remember what I had for breakfast, but can recall racing incidents 50 years ago easily!
Do you have a story to tell us about the 8th place modified finisher, "Cash Bond" of Nashville and how he acquired his name?
