Stock Car Racing History
Ticket from Ed Sanseverino
Race program
As another Chrysler NASCAR boycott loomed, NASCAR's officials amp'd up technical inspection - especially on the Mopars. Retribution? Nahh. Never from Big Bill, right?
Validating templates on a stock Mercury Cyclone - what a novel concept that today's racing could learn from.
Templating Darel Dieringer's Junior Johnson Ford.
Pearson's Dodge getting the once and twice over.
What remained from Curtis Turner's practice crash - Ray Lamm
Early in the race, Jimmy Crawford spun and nearly took out Soapy Castles with him. Both continued.
Cale takes the checkers - Ray Lamm
Cale and the Woods in VL
Race report from Tuscaloosa News
And this column from Spartanburg Herald describes how close Cale was to being out of racing - and of having his Atlanta weekend ruined.

More coverage of Turner's race from the Danville papers.
Curtis' #0 Ford
A little tongue-in-cheek jab from the Danville Register's sports editor about the anticipated roughness of the race.
Tim Flock won the pole on the first day of qualifying.
On a rain-shortened second day of qualifying, Dick Freeman and Bob Welborn locked in the next two starting spots after Flock.
The aftermath of Jack Bowsher's flipped Ford
Race report 
Promoter and race winning driver enjoying the spoils of victory.
Turner also owned the pole winning Ford raced by Tim Flock. Though Flock didn't finish well, a man filed a claim that the #15 Ford driven by Flock was now his. Turner agreed the man planned to buy the car but had not delivered on the agreed-upon terms. Curtis' position was non-wavering. Rather than wait around for any sort of slow-moving, bureaucratic justice to play out, he simply left down the car in tow.

LETS SEE IF ANYONE HAS THE POWER TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION

Leon nearly got it with suggesting Gordon. He was close - but no cigar. As I predicted, RPM cars didn't even sniff the front. I begrudgingly have to give it to Logano. I really thought he was overrated - but he continues to shine at Penske.

As much as I want to see 43 return to VL and the joy on Marcos' face when he wins again, I don't have confidence it'll be at Texas. 1.5 milers just haven't been kind to RPMs teams. Gaining, yes. Good short track mo', yes. But to paraphrase Robert Frost, they have many miles to go before they win.
Who's the Outlaw Now?

Was hard to believe when I saw the trivia last night. Kurt's win yesterday was the first for car number 41 since Curtis Turner won with it at Rockingham in 1965!
