3 of the 4 "Eastern Bandits" showed for this Bowman-Gray Stadium NASCAR Modified-Sportsman race on July 21, 1962 - Red Foote , "Steady Eddie" Flemke and Dennis Zimmerman , who would go on to drive sprint cars and become Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year. Only Rene Charland was missing. Foote would soon relocate from Southington, Connecticut to the modified hotbed of Richmond, Virginia. All of the Eastern Bandits prepared their cars at Junie Donlavey's Richmond shop during their southern forays. Here's a photo of 2nd place Bowman-Gray finisher Red Foote with the Junie Donlavey #90 Perkins Pure Oil Special NASCAR modified also driven to many wins by Runt Harris and Sonny Hutchins.
