Looks like he has a vertical stripe on his uni - and I can't see the Firestone patch. With those 2 differences plus the trophy, I'm now thinking the 1st pic may have been from his July 13, 1967 Fonda win.
Somewhere along the way, we'll get back to Tim's Racing Minute about the 1955 Altamont-Schenectady Junior Johnson win. haha
Hey, I've seen that trophy before! A couple of years ago during my visit to the Petty museum.
