Seems I've read before somewhere about Buck hitting the spectator's car, but had forgotten it. I believe The Legend might have been at sea or at least in Little Creek, Va. at that time, so it would be difficult to pin him as the culprit. How about it, Tim.... where were you on the night of August 22, 1968?
Thanks for the report, Jimmy. Be safe. I hope some of the suits in Daytona read your reports. It'd be a lot better for NASCAR, the fans and the racers than hiring the marketing gurus who don't have a clue.
15 years ago, beginning around June, the Charlotte newspaper would have 2-3 columns in its classified section from fans seeking tickets to the Bristol night race. Now, of course, there are zero ads seeking tickets for Bristol, but multiple ads seeking Carolina Panthers tix.
Enjoy, Dennis. Hope it's a good one.
The Washington Redskins were the first pro football team to be seen on television in the south, through their old Redskins syndicated television network. To this day, in my current residential locale of Charlotte, I often see more Redskins jerseys than Panthers.
Today comes news that Charlotte's ABC Television network affiliate, WSOC-TV will not air the previously scheduled Saturday night Bristol Sprint Cup race, but instead televise a Washington Redskins EXHIBITION football game.
How the mighty have fallen.
Charlotte race fans can still see the Bristol telecast. It has been picked up by independent station WAXN.
A very full track to have 33 cars on a one-third mile.
Nah... nothing old about you, Legend...not with all the gallivanting you do promoting racing history and the RR site.
