Thank you for posting this pic. This is a picture I have never seen before. I am Ken Finleys Grandson. I can now show my son this as well. who says the internet is nothing but trouble!

 

yeah what was I thinking ...pearson drove that 21 so much , well anyway the door says aj,

 

If I recall correctly, A.J. drove that car in the Daytona 500, and Pearson was in it the rest of the year.

 

Actually, Foyt drove that car to victory at the first (1971) Miller High Life 500 at Ontario Motor Speedway a couple of weeks after that picture was taken At Daytona.......

 

Saw some reference to Andy Hampton a few posts back. He's today's Photo of the Day !

This was shot at Dayton Speedway on 5/24/1970.

Nice Dodge !

Enjoy.

AJ also won the Atlanta 500 the first weekend in April before turning the car over to Donnie Allison at Martinsville.

Pearson didn't get behind the wheel of the 21 until Darlington of 1972.

 

Bob Ryan "The Smiling Irishman". I lived a couple of blocks from there and was at his lot often. He had a radio station in the back room of the little office. He played country music and would have county music stars there for a show ever week. You could wait outside and meet most of them when they left. Bought a 56 Ford from him. He sponsored local racers a lot. Allstarracing

 

Photo of the Day indeed ......... That's one sharp car!!! I assume that's a '70 Coronet in Andy's traditional color of Red, Yellow & white. Any color photos on that car around ???vegas_oldtimer, thanks for posting !!
