Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

As mentioned, I make mistakes.

Also, I've noticed that in div 1, 2, & 4, there are very few Pontiac powered cars. And, of those few, not all of 'em make all the races. So, some races may have 1 Pontiac, or maybe 2, and some have no Pontiacs , at all.

Because of this, I admit that I have not scanned every single div race. In div 4, I usually don't even scan all the big races, cause there are seldom any Pontiacs entered.

Also, there are smaller Stock/SS combo races, open races, & probably a few other types of races I don't know about, and/or don't have access to the results. .

Therefore, I ask again that if anyone here knows of a Pontiac win I miss, please post that info.

Just learned of a 2016 div 1 win that I missed. Todd Hoven won it, with his '68 Bird. It's the car that I had so much trouble getting the correct ID on. So, if I have it straight, it is the car that Roy & Mike McKinney, traded to Truman Fields, in the deal where they got Truman's '68 Bird, with which he had won the '73 US Nats.

Truman, then took that car & got it running quicker, and raced it for many years. He won the C/S class with it, at the '77 US Nats, the same year that Mike McKinney won Stock, with Truman's original Bird.

So, many years later,Todd got it, & it was painted & raced as a Truman Fields "Hard Times" tribute Bird, for a while. Then, it was returned to an original green color, without all the lettering, and Todd continued to race it for a while. Then he began to drive a Mopar for someone else, and Duane Hoven drove the Bird. At, least I HOPE, I have it all straight now.
