What year did NASCAR's big boys visit Houston and at what track did they race?

I must have had my head where the sun does not shine when I posted that Pontiac has 15 championships. 
Actually, I believe they have 3.

I'm not sure if was a suggestion or a rule but I guess the questions were to be kept to post-1970.
Anyway, when and where did the last Nascar dirt track race take place?

9-30-70 at Raleigh and won by Richard Petty.
Questions can go back to 1949 but keep all related to Nascar Cup racing.

[/b][/quote]Darn right Donohue was good. He was one of the greatest, but since his efforts were cut short by the "Grim Reaper", unless you were a student of NASCAR at the time, he is not a standout nor a name one might find by combing those record books of NASCAR.
Thanks Muggle not, but I'll pass on offering the next question and throw the lead back to you.

Ok, an easy one. Fireball Roberts had 33 wins in his Nascar career. At which track was his first win.

Fireball's first win came on August 13, 1950 at Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsboro, North Carolina.
