good as any explanation Dave. I think they wanted a restart for the excitement but the sudden rain shower shorted out everyone's plans, lol

Who Was Cassius "Top" Mingus of Spartanburg Who Big Bill France Picked to Oversee Florida Racetracks? Perry Allen, Tim, Anybody Know?
Stock Car Racing History
Dave, There was a Cassius Killian Mingus from Spartanburg that passed away 10-8-1963 at age 58. That would have made him born in 1905 and 27 yrs old when "tops" was born. Might be a name to check the obits and see if you can find "tops". I wonder if young mr. Mason Mingus the Nascar truck driver that did so well last year in the snowball and races for Mingus Racing is a distant relative. I could also check w/ Robert Hart of New Smynra.

Great post Dave. Maybe I need to rethink my pending move to North Georgia. 
I remember it was 19 degrees in central Florida and killed thousands of acres of citrus trees. A bad movie with no heat has to be something to remember.
NASCAR Should Have Read This 15 Years Ago - What Do You Think?
Stock Car Racing History
Dave, It would have been a wonderful thing if nascar had read and listened to this great race writer. It's a bit weird to read your write up and all with the reference to the late Mr. Barker. I owned a business in Lakeland that was located on the Lakeland airport which is close to Joe Nemechek's original race shop. I used to read the Ledger every day and loved John Barker's articles. I used to see Mr. Barker quite often at lunch and always enjoyed chatting with him. Another strange co-incidence is the mention of your train trip to Richmond. When I read your write up I had just gotten off the R.I.R. web site where I was checking avail. and prices for the April 26th & 27th. I also checked the avail. and price of a round trip train ticket from Orlando to Richmond going up Friday and coming home Monday. Some friends of ours have been bugging us to take a train trip and I thought I could do this and get to see a race at a track that's on my bucket list. I don't know if the Motels/hotels in Richmond jack up the price during a race like they do in Daytona and was going to write you and ask if you knew a decent location. The Amtrak site showed two stations in Richmond so I assumed the first one would be the best deal time wise. I sure hope to pull this off and see a race Friday night and Sat. night.
What to make of the NASCAR Nationwide Series?
