Speedy Thompson scores his last top 10 finish in his next-to-last start.
He'd return almost nine years later for one last hurrah in the 1971
World 600

There was no MRN in 1962. The race was featured on the "National 400"
radio network of all things.

Note: Marvin Panch had given Junior Johnson his toughest competition all
