Who was the first driver to win using the number 3? (Modern Era)
 
Next or maybe smoke should get another shot.Don't know what happened to DirtyMo but really now how about updating the trivia.
 
sorry about the delay guys, i didn't see that i got the question right

who holds the record for the most superspeedway wins in the modern era?
 
^ care to give us aleast a clue???? that one is hard..
anyways let me keep on guessing then..is it richard petty?
 
What definition of superspeedway are you using?

NASCAR considers anything over a mile a superspeedway.

However, I know folks who consider the figure at 1.5 miles, others will say it's over two miles, while some even consider only Daytona and Talladega worthy of the title of superspeedway.
 
congrats furgy, you got it right. bill had 11 wins in '85 on sperspeedways.

i'm pretty sure they are saying superspeedways being over 1 mile since thats nascar's policy, and i got the question from nascar.com
 
Not to hijack the thread, but two groups are forming to remember both the Occoneechee Speedway (Hillsboro, NC area) and the North Wilkesboro Speedway. If any of you trivia nuts are interested in getting involved I will put up some information. Of course the group here in Augusta has been up and running for two years.

Next..........................

why i need to talk in complete sentances? this aint l/a class
 
Lets get it moving again. Why did NASCAR change from white letters to yellow letters on the Goodyear tires?

Henry
 
-because the big yellow letters are more distinguishable than white letters and plus the yellow letters are bigger and bolder...

Sorry, that is not the reason. The answer has more of a technical nature.

Henry
 
OK, I am going to be out of town for a week meeting up with Speedway preservation groups so here goes.

NASCAR changed from white letters to yellow letters when tires went from bias ply to radials. The tire change also really hurt the drivers that were raised on bias plys (i.e. Earnhardt and others).

It took them several years to adjust!

Next!
