May 4, 1958
Wilson Speedway
200-lap convertible race
Pole winner: Bob Welborn in Julian Petty's Chevrolet
Race winner: Curtis Turner
Jerry Draper started 7th and finished 20th in
#42 Petty Engineering Oldsmobile, his second of two starts for Lee Petty. Anyone have more info on Draper?
Race was originally scheduled for Easter Sunday, April 6. It was rained out and rescheduled for May 4. Original make-up date was apparently June 2.
I see rundowns/articles where Illinois driver Jerry Draper competed in the 1950s in Midwest Midget races sanctioned by MMARA and also IMCA stock cars. But, I suspect you already knew that, Chase.
Jerry Draper set a track qualifying record for a Hutchinson, Kansas IMCA stock car race in 1957: http://www.midwestracingarchives.com/2011/03/spring-has-sprung-200-laps-at.html
