Tommie Clinard
Lee Petty at PB GN Race 1953
Lee Petty holding the winner's trophy after his win at Palm Beach Speedway Grand National race in 1953. My Father, William E. Clinard is the man in the hat seen behind the trophy. We did not realize that he was in this picture until a couple of years ago. He was a big race fan. He passed away in 1968 at age 73.
Tommie - Check out Don Smyle's request here at RR. http://racersreunion.ning.com/forum/topics/looking-for-lee-petty-photos I suggested he might want to use this picture of yours. He's looking for a higher resolution than the smaller version I posted. This could be a neat chance for you to have a part in Lee's NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony!
