Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
In 1973, Big Mike Daigneault won the Sportsman Sedan (renamed from Daredevils) Championship. During the season he won 7 feature races but only 6 were in his famed Spirit of 76 Fairlane. One evening his engine blew in a heat race and he was given the ride of a car that was already qualified by someone in a heat and ran the Consi starting last and finished third and last qualifer (back then they ran 3 or 4 heats and 1 or 2 consi's with about 10 to 20 cars). He started last in the feature and won the race. This was the only race this car ever won.
Can you name the car owner, number and the normal driver?
Speed, Yes i can, it was a white chevy 2 nova #3 driven by Paul coutu and owned by i think his brother, not quite sure on that. I was there that night, and i believe the car had no brakes at the end of the race.
Very good Rich. I am surprised anyone would get this. Herbie Renshaw owned the #3 and I believe it was blue with a white roof & number. And you were right about the brakes being used up by the end of the feature.
