OT - James Hylton Retiring After 2013
 

I know it's fenders but I alway have an interest in drivers that have raced more than a half century and a NASCAR privateer to boot. I read several articles about him, mostly in the '60s and '70s and always thought he was interesting. I always thought Hylton actually won a NASCAR Cup championship but I guess I was wrong. He came close though.

Now he said he is stepping aside to make way for a younger driver to drive his car. Since he is 78 years young he has a market that is VERY open. Is he in the market for WesMac, Devin Gilpin or Coleman Gulick or does 'Hurryin' Hank Lower or Johnny Johnson figure as a 'younger' driver. Has Tom Bigelow officially retired. Maybe he would be interested.

He should be able to go a few more years,afterall Hershel Mcgriff had a Winston West start last year at age 84.

James Hylton finished second to Richard Petty in 1966 in the NASCAR Grand National (now Sprint Cup) points. A long career indeed!

Like the saying goes - There are old racers and there are bold racers, bot there are no old, bold racers.

Is that true in this case?

How about old and bold racers with mold?

James has never been known as a hard charger, rather as a guy who has made his living in the sport he loves by being conservative and persistant. He works out of a VERY modest shop and believe it or not his EX-wife is his business manager.He's a good guy.:9:
