Thanks, Jan. That blog will help we lay folk to understand better some of the terminology we read in the official reports and speculations.

Can you "Name These Autographs of race drivers, race car owners, pit crewmen, mechanics, and NASCAR Hall of Famers"??

I can tell you that in the early-mid 80s a lot of postcards and photos of Dale were signed by his PR guy, the late Joe Whitlock and Joe's late secretary, Judy Tucker.

I'm seeing #02 - #09 as Leonard Wood, Lennie Pond, Richard Childress, Delano Wood, Herb Nab, David Pearson, Skip Manning, and Walter Ballard.

Maurice sounds like a good guess. I easily recognized the others. What a great postcard, Dennis! Junie's Truxmore Fords and Mercs were always beautiful, whether GN/Cup or Late Model Sportsman/Modified.

Thanks for today's history lesson from Virginia's Star City. Somehow it just doesn't seem right not to have had Curtis Turner in the field at a Roanoke race.

I'd say that was pretty amazing to have 13 consecutive races in NASCAR's top series each with a different winner. I have no stats, but I'm sure we don't see that very often. Pretty amazing stuff, Tim. Thanks to you and Robert.

TRIVIA:

Thunder in Carolina was the only movie credit for actress Connie Hines. She did, however, go on to star on television as the wife on the show with the talking horse... Mr. Ed. She shared her Dedham, Massachusetts hometown with future racing star, Pete Hamilton, who'd make it to the Southern 500 in 1968 wheeling A.J. King's Dodge.

She also starred in this 1961 Studebaker Commercial!

Robert, I was just about to ask that question. I couldn't find any record of any other NASCAR Grand National or Convertible event ever being held at Hartsville. I thought there might have possibly been 13 NASCAR Modified or Sportsman races at Hartsville with different winners.
