Twin 50 race draws 950 at Old Hickory with Bobby Allison
Bobby Allison headlined a Twin 50 at Old Hickory Raceway drawing 950 fans in a 4,000 seat oval. The event, promoted by Joe Wertz, featured 22 drivers vying for a $4,200 purse while Allison slid from last to third in the second race and nearly set a track record in time trials. The promoter blamed weather and local interest for the sparse crowd as he plans more events to boost attendance.
