No one will ever convince me I didn't,? Hutcherson said according to ?Forty Years of Stock Car Racing: Big Bucks and Boycotts.? ?I think Robert E. Lee's grandson was scoring the race,? he added. They were strong remarks for Hutcherson, who was a native of Iowa. The cause of his anger was that Junior Johnson, a native of North Carolina, had been declared the winner of the 500-lap race on the half-mile track. Hutcherson was scored as finishing second. Johnson had gone a lap-and-a-half down when he lost a tire 265 laps into the race. Then he needed relief from Fred Lorenzen for 147 laps. After returning to the race, Johnson spent 117 laps making up time and then took the lead with 62 laps to go. Hutcherson believed he had a one-lap lead before Johnson's final driver change and a two-lap lead afterward. ?At the finish, Johnson was just barely back in the lead lap,? Hutcherson said. After going over the scoring cards with NASCAR's chief scorer, Joe Epton, Hutcherson's co-owner, Ralph Moody, was content with the results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
