To Dick Passwater, who turns 90 today. Dick's doing great down here in Florida, gets around like a 65 year old, and drives himself from Sarasota to Daytona in his red Corvette for Living Legends of Auto Racing events. If you go backwards through time, Dick Passwater's victory at the original Charlotte Fairgrounds 0.75 dirt track in 1953 is the oldest victory of living winners. Dick took the lead in that race with 3 laps left after Pop McGinnis lost a tire. Little known is that he also won a lower-tier race at Hickory Speedway in 1952 where he lapped runner-up Buck Baker twice.
Hopefully he sticks around for the birthday cake this time around.
