It's Pancho Carter, I think. Nice colors, those. I understand Alex was a popular fellow among the racers and owners.

Started 19^th; finished 7^th; 89 laps; flagged

Perhaps someone can help with this one. I'm stumped. Can't quite read the First Last-name on his helmet, and don't see any driver marks on the car.

Dick Simon; start 20; finish 25; 11 laps; wrecked.

Start 12; finish 13; 68 laps; broken header.

Start 1; finish 2; 95 laps in 2:45:56, 28 sec back.

Tom Klausler in the 48 car is apparently in the process of passing Pancho Carter's Alex Foods special.

Klausler: start 27; finish 6; 90 laps; flagged.

Start 10; finish 20; 33 laps; suspension.
