Bruton Smith, When you were 17, you bought an old modified race car and started racing. Whom did you race against?

Back then it was Buck Baker, Joe Weatherly. People back in that era. I remember one time on a last lap I had to move Joe over to win the race. I was promoting the race, too.

Joe says, "You got no business being in that race car." I said, "The car owner wanted me to drive it. He knew I had some experience, so he put me in it. Joe, if you notice, I won. Look at my trophy. You want to kiss my trophy?"

He didn't like that. I'm not sure that Joe ever forgave me for bumping him, but I did. I didn't wreck him. I just moved him up into the soft stuff and won the race.

DennisGarrett would like to know:

#2. Where & when did you beat Joe Weatherly in a an NASCAR race or Non-NASCAR race?
#3. Is the above #1 & #2 listed in the record books?

Me thinks that Bruton has been smoking some of that stuff the always awesome D.W. smokes regularly. And as to number one, proper English is not "whom did you race against" but rather, "against whom did you race"? Either way, the answer is "only in your dreams sucker".

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

When he raced he had to win. Why you ask? So he didn't have to pay out the purse money he got to keep it. He also was the promoter so he did't have to out run the drivers with the race purse he got it. He had to only come up with money for second and farther back which was a paltery sum. In those days the winner recieved the lions share of the purse.
