rdfs:comment
  • The 1956-46 was a Convertible Series event held at Asheville-Weaverville Speedway on September 30, 1956. This race holds a distinct place in NASCAR record books. It is the only recorded instance of a race being called due to a lack of competition. In other words, only the race leader was running at the conclusion. For on Lap 181, three of the four remaining drivers in the event were taken out by a massive crash. This led to Curtis Turner claiming the event as it was called on the next lap, with Turner beating teammate Joe Weatherly. It was the sixth time in the previous seven races that Turner and Weatherly had finished 1-2. Despite crashing to 7th, Bob Welborn wrapped up the championship with one race to go. Stats
