LASTCAR STAT OF THE WEEK
Today in LASTCAR history (April 18, 1960): In a race won by the late Glen Wood, Junior Johnson finishes last at historic Bowman Gray Stadium after his #14 1959 Chevrolet loses the engine after 2 laps. The last-place finish, the 8th of Johnson’s career, tied him with Jimmie Lewallen for the most in the Cup series at that time. Johnson would take the Cup Series last-place record with his 9th on November 30 of that year and would hold the record for nearly a decade. He was ultimately passed by owner-driver G.C. Spencer, who tied him on October 4, 1970 and passed him on April 16, 1972.
