This is an incredibly rare shot. That isn't Lorenzen in the #28. It's John Sears in his lone start for Hoss. Max Berrier was driving Junie Donlavey's #90.

Lorenzen had been driving that car until the previous week. According to the record books Sears drove at Wilkesboro.

AP wire report has Sears qualifying car for Lorenzen who was to be married on Saturday, but race on Sunday. However, Sunday race report still shows Sears driving. Interesting.sub1.PNG sub2.PNG

The Richard Petty win series blog by RR's Chase Whitaker has national Speed Sport News coverage that says Fred failed to show for race day: http://bench-racing.blogspot.com/2011/10/october-1-this-day-in-petty-history_01.html
