What Track? What Driver with Checkers? Recognize the Driver, Car or Flag Stand?

In the mid-90s, a fellow named Bill Wise at my Richmond, Virginia Eagle's Lodge gave me two poster size 20x30 prints of his dad at ( I'm pretty sure ) a western Pennsylvania dirt track.

I am guessing the two blown up photos were taken in the very late 60s - early 70s, maybe , judging from the wide white belt on a fellow in the pits in one photo. I am only able to scan a teenie, tiny portion of the two photos.

The first photo shows Bill's dad in his car in front of the flag stand and flag man with the checkered flag in his hand.

The second photo shows Bill's dad beside his car in the pit area.

Car might be a Ford Fairlane. It is #21, painted red, white & blue. There appears to be a wooded mountain in the background of the pit shot. There is a large red Kendall Motor Oil sign on the fence by the caution light and Bill's dad's car has a Kendall decal.

Does this flag stand look familiar to anyone? How about the car or driver? Sorry I can only scan such a very small portion of the two poster size prints. Thanks folks.

Guess what... I no longer own a camera. But, thanks for the idea. Maybe when one of my daughters is over I'll get them to do as you suggest. Thanks, again.

You have picked a rotten time to talk to me about phones. In the past hour I have walked into a very stupid woman from behind who decided to stop in the main entrance door of my local Target store while texting.

I guarantee you all within earshot were blushing when I finished with her.

What in the name of goodness is so damned important that all these clones and zombies are waking around texting, talking, stepping in front of cars and into swimming pools, not to mention running red lights and killing folks?

I hate cell phones, ipods, iphones, ipads, and any other "i" instrument that causes these idiots to shout in restaurants and block the aisles in the supermarkets. You can throw in the old Sony Walkmans, too, that all the joggers were plugged into while they suffered their well deserved heart attacks or getting hit by cars while wearing their little spandex outfits and running around at dawn.

I bet you a dollar to a doughnut that stupid woman at Target looks to see if I am behind her before she ever stops to text again. They need to burn all those damned devices and many of the folks carrying them.

Can you understand my viewpoint or do I need to clarify it?
