LOL
Dave, I sure do appreciate your investigative facts, who would have known that Dave circled the Earth at a race track, going around in circles at a much smaller scale. I wonder what scale Talladega is in relation to the earth, hmmm?
Ray, I was so glad to see a Dodge back in victory lane and proud that a fellow Michigan native took the MOPAR to the checkers. Chrysler hasn't always produced the most compatible cars with Ford and GM "lately" but they never give up and have always been known to build cars "outside the box" if you will. The "Daytona, the Roadrunner, the Twister, Duster, and Scamp", and now the new "Challenger, 300, and impressive looking 200 and Avenger". Chrysler will survive and thanks to Roger Penske, who obviously still believes in MOPAR, Dodge is crowned King of Talladega once again. 
Robert, I just posted a photo in the Forum section called "What's in a Photo" that looks very similar to the picture of the "Grand Stand" dirt bank above. I wonder if it's possible that the photo is Green Hill Speedway?
You guys nailed it, that was a hoot
This made my day! This is what it's all about, this is why we race!! Thank You Shelby, NC!!!!!
It was an historic day in Shelby, NC in front of a packed grandstand to watch racing at the fairgrounds in it's purest form, absent for 40 years. Three different vintage racing series and exhibitions came to support the return of dirt track stock car racing to this small southern town nestled in the lower southwestern edge of North Carolina. The enthusiastic fans cheered some drivers and jeered others as the green flag dropped and the sights, sounds and smells of roaring engines filled the fairgrounds. They raced the cars like they stole them, it was flat out from the green flag to the checkers and bumper to bumper. Yesterday I raced against some of the finest drivers I've ever known, Bobby from Shallotte, NC, Peter from Eastover, NC, Sherman from Conway, SC, Wild Bill from Shallotte, NC and "The Mountain Man" Kenneth from Mount Airy, NC. It was also an honor to have Ned Jarrett 2-time NASCAR Champion; 1960 & 1965, Rex White; 1961 NASCAR Champion, Marvin Panch; 1960 Daytona 500 winner and other past drivers present to witness this historic event. Mr. Jarrett announced to the drivers to "Start your engines" and thus racing returned to Shelby, North Carolina. This is what memories are made of. I want to also thank my wife Julie, son Alex, brother Todd and Sister-in-Law Pat in attendance for supporting my quest for the win but, I'll settle for a 2nd place this time.
