04.18.11 | Larry Jendras Jr. | Ed has got it right. That is Tony who took the win in
NASCAR’s first 100 miler in a Short Track division race. The 400 lap race
was known as the Lanham Grand Prix held on the 1/4 mile asphalt oval in West
Lanham, Md on July 13, 1951. He finished ahead of Fonty Flock and Pappy
Hough. The car was owned by Williams Nash Motors of Bethesda, Md. The Rambler was the smallest car on the track and never made one pit stop. According to owner, Larry Williams, the car only used 6 gallons of gas and burned no oil. |
