With apologies to Tim Leeming who does a great job typing a narrative daily for a featured race. I'm simply going to supplement the one he has posted for today with a clipping or two about a hallmark race: the inaugural Volunteer 500 at Bristol, the first Grand National race at the Bristol half-mile.

The King giving Cale all he could handle late in the race before that final caution. - Reading Eagle
Photo was taken by Emil Schazenbach Jr. who I learned passed away in August 2013, about a month after Tim's post here about the anniversary of the 79 Pocono race a year ago.

Why have drivers always been willing to race hurt? Then and even now? This column published in the Free Lance Star a couple of weeks after the Pocono race kind of encapsulates it. Even EARNHARDT was not above being rumored to be losing his ride because of an injury. Some were suggesting Pearson would get the Osterlund 2 car permanently, and the team had to ensure everyone realized that simply wasn't the case.
Dave Fulton - also thought it interesting in the 'notes' part of the column about Paul Sawyer's and Ken Campbell's plan in 1979 to explore the building of a 1.25 mile superspeedway.

When all else fails, turn to Russ Thompson. Good things are bound to happen when a request is lobbed his way. Here is DW piloting Al Rudd's 22, originally qualified by Ricky.

The week prior to Darlington, the Cup guys raced on a muggy night in Bristol. Pearson - driving in place of Dale - needed some relief help of his own. So Lennie Pond drove in relief of the relief driver as shown in this David Allio photo that Dave Fulton posted here about a year ago.
