Comments: Comment:  Fred Orchard and Billy Carver Jr battled it down to the wire in 1976 for the rookie championship.  The two tangled coming into the first turn on the last night of the championship and the #406 ended up on it's roof.  Fred would go on to become a very accomplished driver on both the dirt and on the asphalt of Flemington, including winning a modified feature event in a 20 lapper that came down to Fred and Billy Pauch battling it out on the last lap with Billy ending up in the 4th turn wall and Fred in victory lane.
