		Flock's career began before the outbreak of World War II and he had a unrelenting need for experiences of the wildest, adventurous sort.
		Flock took a narrow lead in the opening lap, but the relentless Hall was nipping at his heel all the way down the long but narrow fltop backstretch.
		Flock's Ford darted to the high side of the corner, climbed the outer edge of the track and spiraled end-over-end and side-over-side into a clump of palmetto bushes.

		During the race Fonty's brother, Tim Flock seemed to have Petty's measure, and he did indeed beat Lee to the line by almost a minute and a half.
		The carb in his Olds was found to have polished bores to increase airflow, and the butterflies that were held to the throttle shaft by screws in a production car, had been soldered in place to keep the screwheads from obstructing the incoming air.
		In a double irony Flock was later awarded a win when Roberts was disqualified when NASCAR tech director "Cannonball" Baker found the pushrods in Robert's car were.016 of an inch too long.

		Darrell Waltrip and Michael Waltrip will not go down in history with their names being compared the way of, say, Tim and Fonty Flock, or even Jeff and Ward Burton, but both will go down as having won the Daytona 500, and that was a historical oddity of which both were immediately aware.

		After the race Flock led the Southern 500 crowd in a rendition of “Dixie.” Sadly times have changed since 1952, and if one of today’s young guns had won the Southern 500 they would likely have chosen something off of the Billboard Top 40 charts to perform.
