Racing History Minute - March 17, 1962
Stock Car Racing History
I always think of jolly Irishman, Tim Sullivan when St. Patrick's Day rolls around. Tim started out flagging (out on the track) at Richmond's Royall (Southside) Speedway in the late 40's and went on to a stellar motorsports career.. including founding Motor Racing Network, bringing live race telecasts to theaters and arenas via Teleprompter (no coincidence they also sponsored Richmond's Junie Donlavey and Bill Dennis at Daytona) and founding the automotive studies program at Daytona Beach Community College, all the while repping for Valvoline to the press corps. Tim never parted a group without invoking the Irish Blessing. In his "spare" time he always came back to Richmond and helped in our credentials office on race weekends.
