I am trying to find any images of the car Dale Sr drove and won with in the 1985 Winston West race in Seattle. It was a Bill Schmitt Chevy, #3 sponsored by California Cooler. I have been told it was identical to Bill's #73 car. I am trying to find any pics of Sr's car or good close up images of Bill's #73.

No picture, but a similar request was made about a year ago. Scott Baker provided a pic of Schmitt's car. Not sure if you've seen it - but might give you idea of what Sr's may have looked like.

Yep have seen that photo and 2 others of Bill's car. None show the hood or trunk very well. I'm looking for anything.

I know Bill also ran the car at Willow Springs so if anyone has pics from that race it would help too.

Bill also ran the car in all of the Winston West races. By any chance do you have images of the Sr car?
