#69[quote="Clyde Mangum"] I'm sure Bud and Eddie are talking over old times. Eddie told me when he lost the ride in the flying #11 he cried, but by doing so he got the ride in the #69 and #269 and won the National Modified champion title in 1962 and backed it up in 1963. Eddie Crouse was a close frend. Thank you Bud for your part in those championships.May GOD bless,Clyde Mangum [/quote]
The #69 and #269 was the same modified race car that Eddie Crouse raced, they just painted an #2 in front the #69 to get the #269 race car number.
