Owens ran only two races in his final season, finishing no worse 2nd! He won earilier in the year at Richmond. The strong run in his last race had to lift Cotton's spirits a little bit, his other car driven by David Pearson dominated the race before dropping out with a fan belt problem. 3.

Billy Wade died in a January 1965 tire test at Daytona. Maybe you got the two confused. 5. rob posted: 10.24.2014 - 1:21 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Only career top ten for Major Melton. Hewas the first Grand National driver that I ever met. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
