Racing History Minute - October 31, 1965
Stock Car Racing History
Few more I found this morning.
Track construction...
Grandstands and fencing built. Track grading taking shape and awaiting asphalt.
Paving begins
Even Richard Petty got in on the paving action!
Concrete grandstands have been poured.

Race Day!
A pre-race meal - Junior Johnson is about to chow down on a sammich. And I believe that is Lee Roy Yarbrough and Fred Lorenzen at the table with him. Is that Buddy Baker wearing a jacket and facing the other way?
A packed, sandy infield.
G.C. Spencer (49) ahead of Elmo Langley (64), Ned Jarrett (11), Roy Mayne (46) and Dick Hutcherson (29).
Turn 1 racing action - Hutcherson pulls Bobby Isaac (35) behind him
Cale Yarborough gets pit service from Banjo Matthews and crew as Larry Hess (44) continues on the track in the background.
Pops takes the checkers
