1969 Photo ID Wanted

I just shot pictures and never kept records..
 Now I am trying to identify a bunch of old negatives that I recently discovered in my closet... The photo below was 1969 at the Reading PA Fairgrounds, and I believe it was at a URC - ARDC Sprint and Midget Special show (maybe the Bob Wilke Memorial). I know the driver is definitely NOT Earl Halaquist, who often drove this car, because I have a photo of him on the same strip of film in his regular George Nesler #2. Thanks to anyone who can help! |

Nesler did not run URC in 69. Earl Halaquist moved to the Venezia car and won the title and 6 features

Al I just looked at records real quick. I can try to dig deeper later. Are you sure it is 1969?

 I went back and looked at both images at full size magnification. Driver in the 27 has the size and posture as I remember Halaquist. Also, the driver's suit would appear to be pale blue. I remember Earl often wore a blue suit, but it sure looks like he has a beard. Now on the #2, I noticed some letters on the helmet, beginning with a "W", and the #2 has a cage. When did Nesler put a cage on the 2? Maybe I can figure a way to post a portion of the full images on here if that would help.

Looks like Wayne Woodward/Billy Hughes drove for Nesler at least once in 1969.

 #2  Man that's really large crop for an old Tri-X negative.
