We keep hearing of interesting NASCAR scoring decisions and results being changed.

In the case of the July 4, 1964 NASCAR Modified feature at Myrtle Beach's RAMBI Raceway , track officials threw up their hands and sent the scorecards to Daytona after 4 different drivers of the 44 entered claimed the win.

I haven't found a follow-up story, so I'll depend on Coastal Jack Walker and Bobby Williamson to tell us who finally took home the paycheck.

The initial controversy was reported below in the July 6, 1964 Charleston News & Courier .

Bobby Williamson's hero driver, Earl Moss of Creedmore, NC and Doug Yates of Chapel Hill weren't exactly strangers.

In 1958, Moss tapped Yates to replace him in the driver's seat at Daytona when he was diagnosed with measles!

That Earl Moss..........he's too much too believe, you know he always got an extra pack of cigrettes rolled up in his T-shirt sleeves!

Amazing the Rambi new article had reached the Charleston newspaper, and was published!
