My Dad Al Webber, spelled wrong in the standings, was a local driver in
Rochester, NY. He was asked by a car owner to run his car because the
regular driver was ill. He finished 9th driving the only Ford in the
field. Dad said the car was running great and would have finished higher
but Junior Johnson hit him in the front tire so he lost 25 laps to a
tire change. The car owner was so impressed with Dad's racing he invited
him to run the car the following race at Fonda. Unfortunately Dad
crashed in lap 26 and finished 17th. That was the end to a short Grand
National career but Dad raced at local tracks for a few more years.
