Pontiac in Cup, 1955 – Race 38

10/23/2017 – Ned Jarrett once again carries the Tin Indian’s banner when the Grand National circuit visited North Carolina’s Raleigh Speedway’s 1-mile paved track on September 30, 1955.

Jarrett, piloting the only Pontiac in the field – Mellie Bernard’s 1955 Chieftain – didn’t get a chance to showcase the Pontiac as the rear-end blew out after only 28 laps, relegating him to a 33rd place finish (out of 37 entrants).
