In Memory of Bill Morton
BillMorton-1969
Driving the No. 2, '65 Chevelle for long-time friend Bud Rambo at the Appalachian Speedway in Kingsport in 1969, Bill Morton set five track records and won 12-straight feature races en route to 23 feature wins during the remarkable season.
my dad, hubert hensley sold Bill a modified coupe in the early 70's and I was wondering what ever happened to it. when bill bought it it was painted up gray and had a rebel flag on the trunk, i think it was a 36 or 37 plymouth coupe. i was only 10 years old when this happened but i remember the day vividly when bill came to Ridgeway VA to pick up the car. I would really like to track that car down, it had a lot of history. bill was one heck of a guy, he left an impression on a 10 year old kid as a heck of a driver and very funny guy to be around!
