Countdown to Daytona


Current NASCAR

The #25 got it's first win with Jack White in 1949, but little to nothing about that race is known except that most of the people are dead. Here's the next #25, Dick Linder, on his way to winning a 1950 Grand National race at Dayton Speedway.

Lloyd Ruby drove this #25 in the 1969 Citrus 250 Grand American race on the Daytona road course. The car was mostly driven by Pete Hamilton, who won 12(?) races during the season driving for Gene White.

Gene White and Lloyd Ruby were better known for this non-stock car #25, however. There were no pictures of Gene White's NASCAR #25 that he drove to a top-5 finish in the 1959 Convertible Series.

And of course, everyone's favorite #25, Cerry Ezra himself!

The best driver to run the #29

The racing grandpa

A different #29... Dink was racing Before there were #29's, apparently, based on his B-29 car. One of the few drivers of the 1950s to finish on the lead lap of a race yet never win.

And one of a driver I get along really well with, Dave Dion, the New England short track master

Lee Petty wrecked the #38 in its NASCAR debut... Gilmer Goode could not have been happy to see this happen to his car on June 19, 1949 at the Charlotte Speedway!

Wayne Smith, the last regular #38 until Elliott Sadler

I could not find any pics of Gwyn Staley in the #38 in spite of him getting all his wins in that car.
