I'm pretty sure there is only one answer to this one......

Which driver was first to earn a pole position driving a Cadillac for a NASCAR Cup race. What year and at which track?

Gober Sosebee - 6/10/51 - Columbus (GA) Speedway

Well... so far you guys have guessed i think maybe every question so far. I think maybe the streak has come to an end.... We'll see....

Who was the first relief driver in NASCAR Cup racing history? And who did this relief driver replace? Good Luck with this one!

In the very first race held at Charlotte (NC) Speedway on 6/19/49, Bob Flock relief drove for Sara Christian. Flock's car blew up on lap 38 and he took over Christian's car until it overheated just past halfway...

Just a quick photo here... Taken in the garage prior to the 1978 Southern 500 at Darlington...

Collectively, these three drivers started 688 NASCAR Cup races and never scored a victory but they were great characters who made NASCAR what it was in their day...

Frank Warren, Joe Frasson and Dick May...

Here's a couple more....

1 - When Junior Johnson won his first race as a car owner, who was the driver and what year was it?
2 - Who was the first stock car driver to be pictured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine and what year was it?

For some reason, I'm thinking Fred Lorenzen in '65. That was the year he became the first driver to win over $100,000 in a season.

You are actually right on both of them... Junior did win some races when he drove his own car... but... who was the first driver to win a race in Junior's car who was actually hired by Junior to drive the car?

[ancrdave]

April 16, 1967 - Gwyn Staley 400 at North Wilkesboro Speedway - Darel Dieringer... He led all 400 laps!
