One year after winning his first and only race on the Grand National
circuit at Canfield, 1950 champion Bill Rexford collects the first and
only pole of his career in the tour's return to this Ohio half-mile.

According to video footage, Don Eggett was in fact in #65, and Rexford
in #60.

Tim Flock started 2nd, with Jim Delaney 3rd, Marshall Teague 4th, Fonty
Flock 5th, #5 6th.

Video footage shows Jim Fiebelkorn's #10 in the infield with the hood up
as qualifying was going on, so he should be listed as a DNQ for this race.

Never mind previous comment. He did race. That's what I get for posting
comments before having my morning coffee.

Future ARCA Founder and longtime president John Marcum's second and
final Cup race as an owner in NASCAR. Despite flipping over late in the
race, his driver and fellow Ohioan Mike Klapak nets the patriarchs best
finish in NASCAR's premier series.
Though it would be the first of just three Top 10's in Cup, Klapak was
in the midst of winning his second of three straight Sportsman
Championships in 1951.

According to this video, there was a Fabulous Hudson Hornet, #777.
According to the results sheet this has to be Jimmy Longo's car, he is
the only '51 Hudson without a number.

According to video footage, Frank Mundy's sponsor was "W. Perry Smith
Motors: Studebaker. In this shot, Lloyd Moore can be seen starting
behind Mundy's car, and Bob Flock's #7 can visibly be seen starting
alongside Moore.

Also, due to the footage described above, Frank Mundy started 6th Lloyd
Moore started 8th, Bob Flock started 9th, with Don Eggert started 10th,
as they are all seen together in the footage.

Jim Romine's car number was #17, like it was in the MARC (ARCA) series a
few years later.
