| Comments: | Note from Bob: My father took this shot from the stands at the 1969 All Star League race at the Nazareth National Speedway. I thought it was Sonny Hutchens in one of Junie's full bodied cars. Any help you, or one of the vault contributors could give me would be appreciated. |

| 12/05/06 | Greg C! | I called the Donlavey Shop on Monday the 4th to get an answer for you.
Junior "Junie" Called me back late this afternoon, he has been extremely busy
lately with a large car manufacturer talking to him about a "Return" to the
NASCAR ranks early next season. That is all, about that for now, on to your question. Junie tells me NO that wasn't their car in the photo [I had to describe it to him he is not a computer type of guy you know] Junie said when they ran Nazareth or Naz National "We always took the smallest cars they had at the time" "We did run both tracks but maybe twice on the ½ mile and that's all!" As for the 1969 Nazareth National photo [All Star Race] Junie said "He never recollects running a Full bodied car on the big dirt track at Nazareth ever." He laughed and then said; "At his age the mind plays tricks on an individual but he never remembers running a car that was not better prepared for a race" Junie then laughed about the "Spray Paint Numbers". The phone call prompted some great conversation [as always with Junie] and brought back the Sonny memories. "Donlavey's Nazareth driver" but once again he tells me NO that wasn't his car in the photo in question. I have No idea who is driving the car in the photo either. [All Star Race] should narrow it down a little? Greg C! www.peakracingequipment.com |
| 01/07/07 | Joel Naprstek | I recall an old Cavalcade of Racing magazine from the late 60's-early 70's era that had a picture of Don Rounds running an ex-Fred Lorenzen #28 GN car at the Lakeville, MA 1/2 mile dirt track. Maybe this is that car? I seem to recall it had a spray can number painted on it. I'll have to see if I can track that issue down. |
| 04/01/08 | Janice | The 90 is Don Rounds. I called him up today to verify it. There is another picture of this car on www.catamountstadium.com website under his page . Joel hit on the head except it was #29. There are also some great shots of the 101 that he drove at Lebanon Valley,Stafford, Cheshire Fairgrounds and many other tracks in the northeast. |
| 04/08/08 | raceartist | Thanks Janice. GREAT history on that website! Joel |
