Number 50 is Bobby Miller in Marshall McKain's sprint car. The engine in this car was a Pontiac with 6 deuces on it. Legend has it that Marshall bought the engine from Pat O'Connor. Marshall had a 2 car team in the 50's with John Toppe driving the sister car #30. Bobby was killed while running second in this very car in the third turn on the 15th lap of the feature race at Mitchell,In. August 7,1960. He and his wife Sue celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary the day before his death. He was only 31 and had a daughter Bobbi Sue. Marshall was devastated, sold the car and quit racing.

Hope to see more of this great stuff.
