1954: A season-high 64 cars are in the field for a 250-lap race on Langhorne (Pa.) Speedway’s 1-mile dirt track. Not surprisingly, all 250 laps are led by drivers starting in the top four with polesitter Herb Thomas leading 163 laps and getting the win. Two other drivers finish on the lead lap, second-place Lee Petty and Hershel McGriff. Also not surprisingly, many cars don’t finish the race. Twenty-nine cars are not running at the finish.(NASCAR.com)(9-26-2009)
