In the post-'72 'modern era', nobody has, or likely will ever, match this. 5.

He had higher finishes but many were at small tracks no longer used after 1971. 6.

If he raced 26 or 27 races, with how he was running on the season, he'd be the champion. 7. rateus posted: 02.20.2021 - 3:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Roy Mayne qualified for Jabe Thomas and Dick Brooks qualified for Randy Tissot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
