anybody remember Herman Beam? 60s If it took two hundred miles an hr. to Qualify, herman was in but as soon as the flag dropped, he fell to the bottom and rode the race out. always finished. had tears in his eyes at daytona when he had to replace a scratched windsheild. I heard as a car owner though he was one of the Top mechanics in Nascar. several good drivers drove his cars.
Yes, I remember him when he raced at Columbia Speedway! He has a club/fan page here: http://stockcar.racersreunion.com/group/rememberinghermantheturtlebeam
