Gotcha, sorry. Same track, different year. The Pontiac pic was from 1971; the 17 pic was from 1970. 1970 was the last year NASCAR allowed the Daytonas and Talladegas to compete, other than Dick Brooks trying the 1971 Daytona 500 with a 305 smallblock.

I've got some photos of their first Speedway car which I think was one of the old June Dunlovie (sp) cars. It was a light blue Torino. That is Bonnet in the background not Pearson, this is after Pearson had left.

Here is the Bonnet shot:

The classiest looking stock car, ever.

Thanks for the edit, Big Mike. After DW competed with P.B. Crowell he then drove for him. Interesting to see how he later adopted the Crowell number and color scheme for his Terminal Transport sponsored NASCAR ride.

this photo was taken at Highland rin. Check the wall high off 4 to the straight and the lower wall in 3 and 4. I was told by PB crew cheif the reason for the vynal top on pb car was it was a burn recovery and easer to patch with a vynal top these were almost new cars at this time.. As for the numbers on Charley Brinkleys car. Charleys hero was Frank Reed who got killed on the old horse track at nashville. The track retired the no 25 so charley can 125 on his hobby car and then later his late model. After much lobbying Mr Donnahue relesed the no to charle at the end of the year so he could run the big race as 25.
