Bob Burdick is correct regarding the 57 they also fielded a 58 as well, he passed away several years ago his father Roy passed years ago & his Uncle Bud most recently. They each migrated to the NASCAR circuit, their biggest claim to fame with the big league was the 1959 Daytona 500 winning 430 powered Thunderbird driven by Johnny Beuchamp only to be overturned after a contested photo review. None the less quite a feat considering the distance factor & all.
