After Allen's car had caught fire earlier in the event and retired, Jack Smith asked Johnny to take the car over, relieving an overheated Jack Smith. Both celebrated in victory lane, but since Jack started the race, he is credited with the win. 2. Billy Kingsley posted: 10.04.2008 - 12:45 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) THE First race at Bristol! 3.
