Peace Haven Speedway - "When Racing Was Racing"

gallery image
A nice article with photos from Barbara E. Taylor's wonderful publication "When Racing Was Racing".

Danville Virginia driver Gordon Mangum also appears in the first picture of the photo concession stand (far right - white tee-shirt).

Thanks to Barbara E. Taylor, and Bobby Williamson for this scan from his collection.

*Note - Peace Haven actually hosted NASCAR sanctioned events through 1956.
