Don't Believe Everything You Read in Racing Books by "Experts" - i.e. Humpy Wheeler's "Growing Up NASCAR"
General
Saw Humpy Wheeler dragged out again this week to offer "expert" commentary on the announced retirement of Dale Earnhardt, Jr. The TV folk seem to never get enough of his opinions. Oh, well... You can fool some of the people some of the time.... etc.

The same car would later be driven to another Martinsville win by Donnie Allison.
April 22, 1967 - Sonny Hutchins Wins for Wood Brothers
Stock Car Racing History
Hard to believe that a half-century has passed since Sonny Hutchins of Richmond, Virginia debuted a Candy Apple Red #21 Ford Coupe NASCAR modified with big-block Ford fuel injection for fellow Virginians Glen and Leonard Wood of Stuart at the half-mile Martinsville Speedway on April 22, 1967. When the dust had settled, Sonny had whipped all comers, mostly '36 & '37 Chevys. 3rd place finisher Ken Rush of High Point, NC was the only non-Richmonder to crack the top-5, as positions 2, 4 and 5 were taken by Ray Hendrick, Bill Dennis and Ted Hairfield. It was not at all unusual for Richmond drivers to place four of their own in the top-5, including three of the famed "4-H Boys." Leonard Wood said Sonny was one of the hardest chargers to ever drive a #21 entry. When this car was brought to Richmond's 1/3-mile Southside Speedway, it spun tires all the way down the short straights. It was a beautiful machine. News footage from WSLS Television - Roanoke, Virginia.
