The first biography of a Nascar driver was written about me in the mid sixties. The name of the book was "Timber on the Moon". Who am I?

Curtis Turner. Curtis Turner was one of the original stars of Nascar. He was also the builder of Charlotte Motor Speedway. He got in financial trouble while building the Speedway and tried to unionize the drivers and was banned from Nascar for life but was later re-instated.

I'm from the state of Tennessee and I was married to Eula Faye. I have a Sterling son and everyone knows me as Coo Coo but my name is ____________ ?

Clifton Marlin. Coo Coo Marlin was one of the top independent drivers in his time. Although he never won a points paying race he did win one of the twin 125 mile qualifying races at Daytona.

My brother Tim used to drive with a monkey named Jocko for a co-pilot. My brother Bob was also a Nascar driver as was my sister. Everyone knew me as Fonty but my name was ___________ ?

Fontello Flock & Flock & Fontello. Fonty Flock was another one of the original stars of Nascar and was famous for driving stock cars while wearing Bermuda shorts.

To get my first Grand National (now Winston Cup) car I traded a Black Angus Bull, a race car and trailer, and a Lincoln to Bobby Allison. Although I never was a full time driver I did have some good showings. Who am I?

Marty Robbins. Marty was one of the stars of country music and the Grand Ole Opery. He was known to put on a free show at one of the motels around the race track where they were racing sometime during the weekend.

I was the owner of the "Best Damn Garage in Town". I was also known as one of the biggest "stretchers" of the rule book to ever race in Nascar. Some of the best drivers in Nascar drove for me. Who am I?

Smokey Yunick. Smokey was an automotive genius who held many patents. He was also the owner of two Daytona 500 winning cars and also won the Indy 500.

When I won my first race I was already in victory lane when they told me someone had protested my win. I found out it was my daddy that had protested because he was driving a current model year car and he'd get a bonus from the car maker. I did finally win a race but not that one. My name is ___________ ?

Richard Petty. As you all know Richard Petty went on to quite a carreer without that first win that his daddy protested. But just think he would have won 201 instead of 200.

You all know me as Bobby Allison but the first few times I drove a stock car I used a diffrent name because my parents were dead set against me driving. My daddy finally figured out what was going on and told me if I was going to race to use my own name. The name I used when I first started was ____________ ?

Bob Sunderman. Bobby Allison is tied for third place with Darrell Waltrip on the all times win list. He is a one time Winston Cup champion, winning the title in 1983.

This was the longest dirt track that Nascar ever ran on. It was 1 1/2 miles of high banked clay surround by a wooden guard rail. The track hosted only five Nascar Grand National race. The name of the track was _____________ ?

Memphis-Arkansas Speedway. Although this track only hosted five races there were two fatalities at the high speed raceway. Lee Petty once crashed through the guard rail and landed in a lake. The turns were elevated 20 feet (they didn't compute the banking in degrees back then) and the straightaways were each 2,280 feet long.

I was the first driver to lead every lap of a superspeedway race. I started in second place in a borrowed Pontiac but took the lead on the first lap. In 1973 David Pearson came close to equaling this feat by leading all but a single lap at Rockingham. The driver that accomplished this is _______ ?

Fireball Roberts. Fireball Roberts was the first superstar of Nascar. He got his nickname not from how fast he drove but from how fast he could throw a baseball.

I was the first driver to ever win four straight races. I accomplished this feat in 1964 and ironically, these were the only races that I ever won. Who am I?

Billy Wade. Billy Wade drove for the Bud Moore team in 1964 and finished fourth in points. Wade was killed during a tire test in January 1965.
