Jimmie Lewallen was among the earliest competitors to use the No. 43, making four starts with it in 1953. Names such as Shorty York, Jim Reed, Billy Irvin and Bob Ross were other drivers of the No. 43 before Petty's career took off.

Art Ball & Wayne Moffitt. They put on some really great races in NW Ohio back in the day.

I raced against Moffit in street stockers back in the 80s. He had a Camaro that went around the tracks like a late model. It was probably not quite in the spirit of the rules. When he showed up somewhere we were usually racing for second place. I see that picture was taken at Fremont. That was my favorite track and the one I raced at the most in the early and mid 80s.
