Ex ARCA, ASA and local bullring crewdog. I remember when racing was really racing and the Talladega Express!!!
Some cool video of my favorite stock car, the Bobby Isaac driven 1970 K&K Insurance Dodge Daytona:

You're right, thanks for sharing!
Right, Kkoether. I think one reason it worked because we didn't "go back" to five laps if something happened. We just went yellow again and picked up the count where it was when we went green. If we got two laps in and went yellow, we went green with three to go. Also, having five laps kept it from being such a mad dash after going green. We didn't have a hard and fast rule about the white, and it was left up to me. If I didn't think the situation was dangerous, I stayed green and finished the race. If not, I turned on the yellow lights and finished under caution. I don't recall ever having to finish one under caution, except when Richter told us to do so the first time at Michigan. That story was in a column and will be in the book I'm working on (shameless plug).WHAT!!! No Green, White, Checker???At least ASA's rule about the last 5 laps under green worked! I don't remember all the specifics but I'm sure IndyBigJohn can fill in the blanks. I don't remember hearing any grumbling about it though.
This thread needed a little jump start i see
This car was shown here a few days ago
Maybe even a week ago now. I meant to scan this pic sooner but forgot
It looks a little worse for wear in this foto.
4 flat tires rear bumper damage and the windshield is long gone after a long slide coming off T4 in the 1988 Daytona 500
I managed to find the results of that race online and it shows that Connie Saylor qualified the #99 in 30th. He made only 32 laps and was paid
$9645 for finishing in 39th position.
Im gonna guess his race ended right in front of us
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison
Loving this thread! Great job, guys! Keep it up!
Bryan Brothers Racing Team: We'll see you "at the track"!!!
Sorry I've been out of town a LOT lately for my job and haven't had any of my stuff to scan. I brought my stuff with this week so hopefully I'll get some scanning and posting done.
I've got an idea and I'll bet kkoether will go along. Can we change this to Semi-Official Cool Old Stock Car Pics Thread and include all stockers from the beginning through the mid-80s? Or maybe should we start a new thread by that title.
I started a thread entitled Historic Stock Car Photos on the HAMB, but one of the moderators (after two-plus years) has decided that our thread would be more in keeping with the spirit of the HAMB if it went only through the mid-60s. He even deleted a couple of my comments when I pointed out the original post (which was almost exactly as above). Now we're looking for someplace to go. Last night, he closed our thread. Your call, Kev.

Im thinking this thread should be kept to NASCAR race cars or NASCAR drivers in other divisions
We all think how cool it is to see the old cars from our local track back in the good old days but this site has viewers from almost every state.
My fond memory is someone elses "never heard of him"
I think if people had to wade thru pages of unfamilar cars from unfamilar tracks it would defeat the original idea of this thread and might even create less traffic here.
Not that theres anything at all wrong with a thread for any old stock cars. Given the choice between more old race car pics or fewer race car pics I will always vote for more.
I just think a non NASCAR thread would make it easier to navigate. And I cant wait to make my own contributions to it
Perhaps it could be created in the dirt/circle racing forum
Either it hits and gets lots of eyeballs or it doesnt and it will disappear off page one in a few weeks
I like your thinking, Kev. It would keep everything but NASCAR off your thread. Thanks. I'll ask DannyB about starting a new thread over there. Thanks again.
To follow up on my Impala concept, here is a rendering of what a Ford Fusion might look like if they still built them like they used to...
The Unofficial, Self-Appointed Gloom & Doom Police...
The Charger presents a bit of a challenge. In stock form the Charger is much larger than either the Impala or the Fusion, and rolls from the factory on 20" wheels. With the mandatory 15" stock car wheels and tires it looks a bit out of proportion and definitely larger than the other two. Perhaps if I'm going to follow this to its logical conclusion, after I draw up a Camry I should look at something smaller from Dodge like the 200?
Perhaps the unlikeliest of all the select band who have driven in both the Indy and Daytona 500s.
"An emphasis was placed on drivers with road racing backgrounds which meant drivers from open wheel, oval track racing were at a disadvantage. That led Tony George to create the IRL." -Indy Review 1996
Not when you consider that Salt Walther did both, too.
The Ayn Rand of Indycar
No one had to badge the Offy.
Billboard outside of Alabama Intl Motor Speedway July 1988 I remember seeing the phrase Hurry Back Bobby everywhere that Summer.
Been a while since Ive had time to scan stuff; this is still where the old NASCAR stuff still goes, right?
As far as I'm concerned, Kev, that would be fine. I think both threads would grow a lot.
I dunno.
Just seems like theres too much all at once.
Id add something but anything posted will be bured two pages deep before 3 people even see it
Forget trying to make a comment or ask a question. No one will see it
Im pretty sure TF isnt going anywhere.
No need for the document dump
Joe Nemecheks Busch Car at Volusia Mall 1988. I cannot recall what model of car that was. Anyone?
I hadnt been to Daytona since 1988 until I went down last year
I went to this mall across the street from the track fully expecting to see a bunch of showcars on display and was disappointed to see they stopped doing this during Speedweek
The cost of sitting in the good seats has gone up a little bit since 1988
I,LL SAY THEY HAVE!!!
CHARLOTTE TIX
That almost looks like one of the old ASA Grand Marqee cars although it does have NASCAR and Busch stickers on the fender. Can't place the make or model at the moment though.Joe Nemecheks Busch Car at Volusia Mall 1988. I cannot recall what model of car that was. Anyone?

That is Mike Swaim's 1988 Busch ride. It's listed as a Chevy but I don't know what model. Possibly one of the years they ran 6 cylinder cars and got a wide variety of models.
I always assumed it was Nemecheks ride. Maybe it was his car? Pretty sure JN had Texas Petes backing in those days. Chevy Celebrity perhaps? I hated the sound of those V6 Busch motors. Not at all pleasing to the ear
It does kind've look like a Celebrity doesn't it? Nothing say's race car motor like a well tuned V8!!!
The young man who was killed at Talladega in 1975 was Randy Owen, Richard's brother-in-law.
I was at the Petty museum in Randleman just last week, and I took this picture of a photo on the wall of Randy. It looked a bit Photoshopped - but it was still touching to see they had a tribute picture to him in the museum.
It was the year before where KP finished 2nd to DW at Dover. He was in the the #42 STP/UNO Pontiac:This has to be one of my favorite paint jobs from the 1980s
Kyle came oh so close to beating DW at Dover in this era. Pretty sure it was in these 7/11 colors. The crowd was going nuts as he hadnt won a Cup race yet. Kyle finshed in 2nd a few feet behind DW.
DW didnt win any fans over that day!
do you have a good pic of the white car kyle ran at martinsville...i have a slide pic not best quality??it was the year before where kp finished 2nd to dw at dover. He was in the the #42 stp/uno pontiac:
Not slamming the family at all but yeah thats not a good touch up job. The shadows are all wrong. The car casts shadows but his hat does not.The young man who was killed at Talladega in 1975 was Randy Owen, Richard's brother-in-law.

Something about the car doesnt look right either. The rear wheel looks smaller than the front and the front wheel doesnt look right either. Just seems like one should see dark in the openings of the front wheel
The wheels look too much like street wheels too
But like I said Im not slamming them, the wannabe racing historian in me always has to look for the inaccuracy
I visited the Petty museum in 2009. Really liked it. Which kind of reminds me of something I have in my collection from when we stopped in Level Cross on a family vacation in the early 1970s
I will try to remember to scan it later
