The B& J Sprint Car was featured in an article on Bobby in the February 2006 issue of Flat Out Magazine. That sprint car is one of Boby's early USAc rides and was owned by Jane Campbell along with Marvin. as for the photos in my "Ecoes" book, the two roadsters shown at Portsmouth are actually he same car. The 1960 version with the upright wing or rudder on the tail, was the Null bros car and was powerd by a 6 cylinder - Jimmie i think. When Bobby won in 1961 (by nearly a lap over Wayne McGuire), he owned the car along with Bud Wacholz of Columbus. Wacholz completely rebuilt the car and dropped in a Chevy V8 for power. it was a different animal for sure. Marvin, on ocassion, drove a black sprinter about this time with limited success. The Wacholz-wrenched winning car ran the night before this big event on the Atomic (now K-C) dirt. The tail was damaged and removed for this event. Both versions of this car carried the #76 which was Marvin's usual number. Nulls also competed with a roadster in USAC in later years with Lennie Waldo driving.
