Stock Car Racing History
Dave , Just found some details, butI don't think this was the only Nascar Sports Car Race. Gwyn Staley also won an event at Raleigh on June 2nd, 1955, and another oneat Martinsville on June 3rd,1955.

Great shot Dave ! I don't think I've ever seen that one. I'll bet the scorers loved it too !!
Looks like Slick Smith in the #4 from the 1954 race. He started 19th, and finished 60th.
Dick Josin won the Sportsman race on Feb. 19th, and Cotton Owens won the Modified-Sportsman race on Feb 20th, 1954.
Jim - On the original photo can you read whats under "Triangle Cafe" ?
Jim - The #M-1 was driven by Milton Hartlauf in both the Sportsman, and Modified-Sportsman races in 1954. Fireball drove #25 a 1939 Ford in both races. I have no idea who could have been the driver of the #37 as it's not listed on the entry list, or race results for 1954. There was a #3 listed in 1954 driven by Harry Palmer from Miami, so maybe the "7" was added and never got changed in the results.
Great shot - Thanks for posting
Dave - Excellent article !!!!
Just saw the Bill Tripp #21 parked at the motel. Should be some good racing tomorrow !
