Comments: We had a little fun with this during our 9/05 Trivia question.  Many recognized accomplished race driver and actor Paul Newman leaning up against the Weld #24 of Will Cagle.  We understand that Paul was in the NY area filming a movie called "Slapshot" and wanted to take a ride in a modified!

11/09/05 John Hager Paul Newman has done just that thing many times, depending on where he is on location. When filming "Nobody's Fool" (starring Newman, Melanie Griffith and Bruce Willis), which had many scenes shot in Beacon New York, Mr. Newman made arrangements to try out the nearby Accord Speedway. A few local cars were brought to the track mid week for Paul to have some fun with. One of them was my friend Tom Cannizzarro's Camaro Street Stock. Must have been around 1994 or 95.
10/04/08 Ralph R. Corwin I had the honor of working with Paul Newman on two occasions and he was a true gentleman and a credit to the sport of auto racing.
