Name the driver, the year and the race.






I LOVE trivia.Lets have it.
I’m with Jon, despite my internet searching, I keep coming up dry on this first question.
Fred Lorenzen.1970 Darlington Southern 500..Started 9th and finished 33rd.
From Wikipedia:
Fred Lorenzen
He came back in 1970, driving a Dodge Daytona prepared by Ray Fox in the World 600(now the Coca-Cola 600), but dropped out while leading on lap 252 of 400 due to engine issues, running in a few more events that year, including substituting for LeeRoy Yarbrough in the Junior Johnson #98 Ford Torino Talladega in that year’s Southern 500, as Yarbrough had a prior Indy car commitment.
Elmo Langley drove the #98 on Sept. 7th. 1969 at Richmond Va. As he relieved LeeRoy durning the “Capital City 250 “
when will we get the answer? I can’t wait!! Yes we need more trivia!!!
Jason, every Thursday we will answer the previous week’s trivia question and try to post a new one for that week. Everyone’s help on providing questions and answers will be appreciated.
