Graves placed his car on the pole for the September event and then dominated the race in route to victory over track hero Marvin Porter. It was his only career victory. He ended the year with a 13th at San Jose. Graves' final two races came in 1958. He was very good in qualifying, competing on the outside pole in both events. But the finishes did not come, breaking engine parts to finish 35th at Riverside and 24th at Sacramento.
