Looking for info. Sometime in fall of maybe 1959, 60, or 61 Bobby Isaac won a 50 lap modified race at Columbia Speedway on a Saturday. The next day Sunday, Bobby won a 200 lap race at Hickory. Bobby was driving a modified, 37 Ford, red and white #9 built and owned by Frank Steelman, Jr of Boonville NC. I am David Steelman, brother of Frank. If anyone has news clippings or other info, please posts. Thanks.LoginWhat's this? | Forgot Password? | Sign UpSearch

David,

I found an article for that 200 lap race. It was on Sunday May 1, 1960 at Hickory. That was the weekend of double wins. The article said he finished almost a lap ahead of Junior Johnson.
