With the 'Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday' mentality at the time I think the cars kinda give away the year the race was run. A little extra trivia - The race was won by Petty driving a '57 Olds.

I believe it was 1958....
But I do know they closed that track in 1970.... Just think what anyone of those cars today would be worth today!

I wonder if anyone had the G-force data on all those dirt embankments.....



Classic NASCAR Photo of the Day:


Here is Richard PEtty in victory lane celebrating his win in the 1969 Nashville 400.... his 99th career win if I have the order right in my head. He got #100 at Bowman Gray, a quarter mile track in Winston Salem, about 3 weeks later.


Looks like a Don Hunter photo....

I have a special photo I am saving for the day of the "Sprint Unlimited"...


(I almost posted "Budweiser Shootout".... just doesn't seem right for this race not to be beer sponsored)
