The Old Days
First Radio Communications
Tim Flock's drove an Oldsmobile in the February 21, 1954 NASCAR Grand National event on Daytona's Beach-Road course. Flock wheeled the Ernest Woods-owned Olds to victory,
but was disqualified on a minor technicality
following post-race inspections.
Lee Petty was declared the official winner of the race.
Flock did contribute a slice of history in that event, becoming the first driver in NASCAR Grand National history to compete while in radio communication with his pit crew.
