Rex White finished 14th, 6 laps down and Junior only ran 26 laps before misfortune came his way. I do not know who the fourth Chevy may have been but the next best known driver in a Chevy was G.C. Spencer. Jack Smith, Wendall Scott and Bubba Farr were the other Chevy drivers. Spencer led 21 laps and White led 4.
thanks and regards, Roland

You're correct. I now remember it was GC Spnacer. I know they all finished poorly but I believed it to be for the reasons I gave before We got this info from a friend of my Dad's who ran the Chevy engine plant and axle plant in Buffalo NY at the time (engine plant in Tonawanda) by the name of Art Cole.
