news and 2008 Preview |

 The
snow has finally melted here in Southern Ontario, the mall
shows have wrapped up and practice days and racing have started.
That means I'm overdue for CanadianRacer.com's annual check

Request - Richard Petty at the CNE in 1958 |
|
The
Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame is looking for photos of
Richard Petty's car that he raced at the NASCAR Grand National
event at the CNE Speedway on July 18, 1958. This was Richard's
first career GN event. He raced a 1957 Oldsmobile with the
#142, not the more famous #43 that he raced for most of his
career.
