How many days ‘til the 2019 Daytona 500?

My first favorite driver, Jerry Richer from Schaffer, Michigan. This guy is one of the main reasons I became a race fan, Jerry bought this car from Milwaukee's Bill Johnson in 1967.

Jerry had a bit of a problem up in Soo, Canada.
Here's the car when Bill Johnson sold it to him.

Jerry Richer in Wes Beckett's #2 car in 1969. In the 8 car is Ed "Stubby" Provo. Ed bought the car from Jerry after the 1968 season. Jerry didn't have a ride for the 69 season so Wes Beckett's car owner let him borrow the 2 car.
 
Miles Melius from Milwaukee. On e of the most exiting drivers I ever had the privilege of seeing race. It was an event when he would come up to Escanaba and kick our guys butts.
