Believe it or not, in four attempts this was Tommy Thompson's best

Fonty Flock led the crowd to singing the south's national anthem, "Dixie."

Now the track and everyone associated with it would be blacklisted and
boycotted if Dixie were sung.

Johnny Patterson's awesome 2nd place finish in his second start would
prove to be his best in the Cup series. As well as the best finish for
owner H.B. Ranier, father of Harry.
