Those were the top finishers from each race only. That was all of the information that was listed.

What a great film, I watch it every time its on. Ole Tony Stewart did a pretty good Billy Coy impersonation in the 97 Silver Crown clip that I posted. "I'll drive right over em"

I would have been 1 year old, but I could have been there. We moved from Indy to Torrance in 48 and my dad had been running Midgets back there after the war, we were always at the track.

Alright Rob, I'm ready. I'm not even going to duck.
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Hey Rob, I heard you were in Baldwin Park wearing a zoot suit and riding a low rider tricycle in 49.
