Memorial Day weekend of 1977 saw Sam Ard winning the Late Model Sportsman race at Caraway in Asheboro, North Carolina over Joe Millikan, but the 2nd place finisher in the Street Division sure sounds familiar!
Must be the same Billy Biscoe who was winning in 1978!
I'd never heard John Sears called John "Lumberjack" Sears before. Did they call him that at Rockingham and Sanford, Dennis?
A preview of the 1968 Richmond 250 from the Fredericksburg, Virginia paper:
Interestingly, two independents fielded a second car in this Richmond race. Canadian, Frog Fagan drove the 2nd Henley Gray entry and Bill Vanderhoff piloted the 2nd Roy Tyner car in what was an extremely small field for the final Richmond dirt race. The handwriting was on the wall that you had to pave to survive on the GN circuit..
Thinking of Bobby and his family and praying for comfort and understanding.
Mike swore to the Sawyer family he would never sell out... especially to Bruton.
North Wilkesboro Speedway founder, Enoch Staley's son, Mike, knew EXACTLY what the consequences would be when he sold North Wilkesboro, electing to take the money and run rather than keep promoting his family's track.
While you're pointing fingers, one could well be pointed in his direction.
Has Tim brokered a deal for Richard Petty to field a Toyota driven by Danica Patrick?
And they did run Xarelto commercials featuring Brian Vickers throughout the Fontana Xfinity race. These also included Kevin Neelon and Arnold Palmer. Knowing Arnie and staff's business acumen, you can bet Xarelto had mucho $$$ invested in those ads.
Another example of sponsors and business, especially the pharmaceutical clan (Xarelto is manufactured by Bayer and marketed in U.S. by Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, Janssen), having no shame. Remember years ago when J&J was highly respected for pulling all Tylenol off the shelves? My, how times have changed.
