I believe this photo with Sammy Bland and Ray Melton broadcasting over the American Racing Network was taken at the 1958 Northern 500, Trenton Speedway. The scoreboard reflects positions 1-4 as Fireball Roberts, Ned Jarrett, Jim Reed and Lee Petty as they finished in that race.
Cal Johnson #31 race car?
