US Nats ? For You Older Guys

OK, got another one for you guys. I just found this pic.

It shows a '68 Bird, with "Hard Times" on the door. It's in the US Nats winners circle, and the guy is definitely holding a Wally.

Here's the problem. I know that Truman Fields won Stock in '73, in the Hard Times Bird, and Mike McKinney won a couple of years later, in the same car.

But, the car in this pic has different lettering & looks to have a vinyl roof.

So, who is this, and IF he did win the US Nats, what year was it ?

When they have a div 3 race at Indy, do they leave the US Nats winners circle sign up ? If so, I assume this could have been a win at a div race, maybe ?
