Johnny, I grew up in Richmond. First time I ever saw Charlie he was driving (I believe) a pale yellow #10 Camaro at our June 1968 NASCAR GT race on the old half-mile dirt Richmond Fairgrounds track. The race was won by Donnie Allison in the Jerri Huggins #27 Mustang.

Big Structural Changes Coming to Daytona Speedway; Casino Gambling in Future?
Current NASCAR
Just read a story in the Daytona paper posted this morning, along with artist renderings, of proposed multi-million dollar changes and additions to Daytona Speedway's grandstands (including a 4th level and closing of lower levels) and entrances. The Speedway is even making plans for casino gambling on the property, if and when Florida legalizes it. I wouldn't be surprised to suddenly find out the Speedway is on Indian land if that's what it takes to get the casinos there!
I have used my allotted number of free views for this 30-day period of the Daytona paper without subscribing.
If someone wants to post the story and artist's renderings, here is the link:

New Smyrna Speedway and Orlando Speedway Under NASCAR Sanction
Current NASCAR
Best of luck. Sounds like fun.
Only time I ever made it to New Smyrna was in 1985 when I sponsored Derrike Ciope in Dave Fuge's T-bird during the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. Lots of fun - but COLD!!!
Get pix. Here's ours in 1985:
