I added a photo (hope I did it right to be seen on the main page) of a fight at Bowman Gray Stadium from "back in the day". This fight makes the Burton/Gordon & Allison/Yarborough altercations look like childs play. I asked if anyone could name any of the people in the photo and gave a couple of hints. The 20R in the background and the curley haired guy trying to separate the fighters ("Fish Hauser", a long time friend and crew member for Bobby Myers) are a couple of hints. There may also be a couple of NASCAR's finest "officials" captured here as well. Have fun with it!

Can't believe no one has started naming names yet. Mike Sykes, Rusty Racer. Where are you?

I recognize Glen Wood and possibly see Charlie Sheen in the white shirt directly below the 20R.d The guy behind Fish does look alot like Curtis Turner with the always present sunglasses.

As far as having fun with this, here goes....

Although this was a long time ago and he was old then and I do not see him, I would think that the ageless senior troublemakerJunior Milleris in there somewhere. Heck, I might even venture to say that he caused it, he usually does...

I found this poem in a 1953 Bowman Gray program that reminded me of this photo -

Turner was one tough customer.
