NASCAR Corvette History Wanted | 1953 #211 | Chevy Engineering Unit | Daytona Beach NASCAR Corvette

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. Email: terry@proteamcorvette.com or write to: P.O. Box 606, Napoleon, Ohio 43545
