with the beat in the dangerous
business, beat the field by fill
ing In an entry blank shortly af
ter it was printed. But early
malla this week have shown that
Baker will be piloting his No. 87
Ford against a rugged and ex

flag drops Friday.

three immediate entries ? Sam
Waldrop, 'Mickey Fenn and Bud
dy Shuman. Then Concord add
ed Banks Simpson, Dink and
Bill Wldenhouse, and Kannapo
Us came through with Ralph
Earnhardt and Fireball Roberts,
now living In the Towel City.
The South Carolina contingent,
always trouble on any track, was
heard from when Joe Eubanks,
Cotton Owens, Leonard and Er
nest Tippett, and Rex StancU
fired in signed sheets.
Two of the famous Flock bro
thers, Tim and Fonty, hope to be
on hand, as will another well
known . brother team, Monroe's
Jlinmy and Speedy Thompson.
And Curtis Turner, the Roanoke,
Va? speedster who doesn't miss
an opening race anywhere if he
can help it, telephoned. last night
that his entry was in the mall.
This group, plus approximate
ly 20 less known drivers, should
make the planned 70 laps of ra
cing a wide-open thriller. Time
trials are at 7 o'clock, the first
race at 8 sharp.
