How Many days to the Daytona 500?

[be9ak7ts16]

Couple things going on in this pic. It's 1970, Jerry Richer is in the #2 Ford Powered Car, Ed Provo is in the #8 Chevy powered car. At the end of the 1969 season Jerry sold Ed the #8 car leaving him without a ride. .Wes Beckett from Soo, Canada let him use his #2 car for the 70 season. Jerry was a diehard Chevy guy and Wes liked Ford power.

This was a very rare diecast car. Very few made it to the public. I chanced upon one at a clearance shelf at K-Mart, bought it for 5-6 bucks. Sold it to a dealer for a $100.

Junior's red #8 Budweiser car has got to be considered one of the all-time greatest color/number/sponsor schemes . . . . . imo

God forbid that Brian France sees this or we just might have something like it added to the Cup schedule because, you know, "that's what the fans want" . . . .

Car drivers (in rain coats and googles) posing for a picture along with well dressed car owners, crew chief, and over-sized pit crew prior to loading the car on the hauler.

That’s The new Charlotte Roval. It beats going to a real road course .

So true, it’s a letdown he didn’t race his whole career in the 8 Budweiser scheme. Truly iconic for its time.

Beats me. One guy looks like he is being held on someone's shoulders. OUCH!

Car #47 is one of the famous clandestine factory backed 57' Chevy Black Widow cars. Despite some well done fakes, there does seem not to be ANY original survivors.
