Marty was a great singer and a decent driver. More importantly he really loved what he was doing. How wonderful you got to meet and spend time with him. Hank Goodrich of Port Orange,Fl. owns a tribute car of Marty's and every time I see it I wish I could have seen him race.
It appears that Bob Welborn was not only a great driver but lucky also. thanks
great report Chase, thanks for all you do.
Interesting race, only 4 cars finished on lead lap and all 4 were Pontiacs, but what great drivers.. Dale Sr.,Neil Bonnett, Bill Elliott and Harry Gant. Thereare several videos of this race on youtube...
great one Chase, thanks.
That's a pot of speeders in one week end.. maybe just going to the track made everyone want to put the pedal down a bit. $80.00 was a lot of money in 1956. That's the year I got my first job at age 17 and it was for $35.00 a week.....
how sad if proven true. these kind of drugs permeates our society and are rampant.
could it be the Rebel 400 in Darlington in 1970????
same to you and yours Jimmy, be safe, be warm and take care.
great report Dennis. I loved those G T cars. Talk about consistency, your dad sure knew how to finish didn't he? 16 races and 14 of them were in the top 5.!!
