J. C., hate to tell you, but this is Air Force Sgt Dick Poling behind the wheel of the No. 62.I shot this picture during theSouthern 500 at Darlington. Poling competed in 15 Grand National races while in the Air Force, and was stationed at Shaw Air Force Base, near Sumter, S. C.Dargan Watts Photo

Do you remember what year this was?

Only took me 7 years to find this photo - and now I'm confused by Dargan's comment. Poling DID race in 15 GN/Cup races. But he didn't race at Darlington, and he raced #62 in only 2 races: 1971 spring Wilkesboro and summer 1971 Dixie 500 at Atlanta.

Possible that is Ron Keselowski in the 62? Maybe 1970 at Daytona?

Dick Poling was at Darlington in 1971 for the Rebel 400, but did not qualify for the race which had a full field.
