Stock Car Racing History
My uncle, Vic Geisen of Cullman Alabama (nascar misspelled his name as "Geisler") drove #37 in the 1954 beach race won by Lee Petty. It was a 1951 Ford so the #37 above is not his. I have looked at old photos of 1954 trying to find his car, but the car broke after only 2 laps. Uncle Vic raced extensively in Alabama, Tennessee and Northwest Georgia in the 1950s and won a number of track championsips. He died in 2008. In 2009 he was inducted into the Alabama Auto Racing Pioneers Hall of Fame, which has a separate hall of fame room on Alabama racers at the museum at Talladega SuperSpeedway.
