I understand, Dennis. I was born in 1955, about 10 days before Otis died in a car crash. But these stats and pictures are great. Thanks for sharing them. I am learning daily about these two careers.
Dennis, I just had a few minutes to check out these statistics. They are great!
Thanks, again.

Robert, these clips are like pieces to a puzzle I had started. I had found the first 4 articles when Jim Lewallen won at Danville. The 5th race was a rare treasured find for me. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Dennis! I appreciate this. Do you, by chance, have any racing stories on them?
Thanks, Robert, for adding this post. Otis and PeeWee were my uncles. PeeWee ran mostly local dirt tracks and a few newspaper articles considered him among the top two Virginia racers.
Otis competed in 23 NASCAR races from 1949-1954, including two Daytona Road Courses. One of his road courses included a 50 lap battle with Buck Baker for eighth place which created two paragraphs in the Daytona newspaper the following day.
I am interested in learning more about their racing careers, so if anyone has info they would choose to post, I'd certainly appreciate it.
