This is an example of how Tiny Lund would pay his debts. He and Haskell Willingham, who was driving for Marion Cox, got into a fender-bender at Columbia Speedway the end of the previous year and Lund told the young Willingham that he WOULD be paid back. On the first lap of the race a year later, Lund made a 75-degree turn into Willingham and sent him over the board retaining wall on the backstretch. I was shooting images in the third turn and this "accident" took place coming out of the second turn, so it is not as clear as one would like. We very seldom used strobe lights back then.

I guess Tiny was someone you hesitated to jump on after a race ? Great story !
