click image to enlarge
We are very interested in picking the brains of anyone familiar with or an official/unofficial
historian of each of these racetracks and persons involved in NASCAR during the short lived
period of the Sports Car Owners Drivers Association (SCODA).
We are looking for any NASCAR Corvette Photos, Programs, Magazine/Newspaper articles,
Race Grids/Results of the early 1953-55 Corvettes that raced against the T-Birds at Raleigh
Speedway in 1955 & 1956, Martinsville Speedway in 1955 & 1956, Bowman Gray Stadium in
Winston-Salem, NC in 1955-’57 & Daytona Beach, FL in February 1956. The race numbers probably
were #92, #62, #55, #27, #16, #3.
The Drivers were Bill France, Joe Hawkins in Daytona, the Thomas brothers, Gwyn Staley,
Pee Wee Jones, Junior Johnson, Jimmy Massey, Ralph Liguori, Bobby Myers and Johnny Dodson
in the Carolinas. The cars were maintained by Hubert Westmoreland. The Corvettes were
probably owned by NASCAR & possibly “King of Jazz” Paul Whiteman.
We would like to discuss the NASCAR Scoda sanctioned events. Any information will probably
be used to write a book on this fascinating chapter of NASCAR History.
