The track was extremely slick. Also the race was postponed due to rain. 6. KW posted: 03.15.2016 - 4:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The Pit crew completion was held in conjunction with this race.

His streak finally ended the following fall when he finished second to Donnie Allison. 8. rateus posted: 02.14.2021 - 11:20 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Elmo Langley qualified for Tommy Gale. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
