The first time Al Grinnan ever sat in that orange #00 car fielded by Coleman Mann from Powhatan - at Martinsville in March 1973 - Al broke the Martinsville Late Model Sportsman qualifying record and beat Sam Ard in another #00 for the pole position in the 1973 Dogwood 500.

The winner of Wednesday's Powerball jackpot won $217 million , according to ABC local affiliate WRIC.
The sole ticket that hit the Powerball jackpot , matching all six numbers, was sold in Richmond, Va., NBC's WWBT in Richmond reports.
The winning numbers in the Feb. 6 drawing of the multi-state lottery were 5, 27, 36, 38, 41 and the red Powerball number was 12.

The next Powerball drawing will be on Saturday, Feb. 9, for $40 million. Powerball is played in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Thanks, Charles - and sorry for calling you "Bill" above., lol!
Bill, I don't know who owned that Chevelle Bill was driving in the earlier photo. I remember Robert Radford having cars for Fuzzy Ferrell and Eddie Cooke. Robert blueprinted a motor for us and we kinda felt like we got taken to the cleaners. I used to go by Robert Radford's garage on a shortcut I'd take from Wilson to Kenly.

Randy, so glad you got to attend. I saw a lot of familiar faces during the telecast... most with gray hair and extra weight like me.
