Guess the record books are WRONG!

[middletnresults]

Record book is correct the program list I was looking at was wrong. But was corrected the following year. My apology for the error. That is why a lot of this is being put on here to get opinions and if so to get corrected.

One question I get is for example: Skip McCord won the Southern 300 last year and not listed on the wins for Late Model. The all-time winners list from day one at Nashville (1958) only included POINTS awarded wins. The 125 events that Uncle Bob had before the All American 400 was events that did not award points.

Thanks for the input. Lets keep the spirit and history alive.
