Photo above are the front-row starters for the 1960 Southern 500 at Darlington. Fireball Roberts (right) won the pole, but finished 9th after breaking an axle. His #22 was owned by John Hines. Buck Baker (center) started second and won the race in a Jack Smith owned Pontiac. Jim Paschal (left) started third and finished the race in third driving a Petty Enterprises Plymouth. Standing at the back of the Baker car is his son, Buddy.

Jack Smith was Bud Moore's regular driver but did not run Darlington any more after a bad crash the year before.
