Either the Associated Press or the Spartanburg paper relocated Red Byron's Anniston, Alabama hometown to Louisiana. Anniston is where most of the racing crowd traditionally stayed during Talladega races. It is also where one of my all-time favorite drivers - Al Grinnan drove his first race while stationed at the Anniston Army base during the Korean war. And, on the dark side, Anniston is also where the Greyhound bus carrying Freedom Riders was torched in the early 60s.
