	Marvin Panch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Marvin Panch Profile
		Panch was able to win three more races that year, one driving for Herb Thomas, to finish second in the race for series championship.
		Panch finished second in the second of two preliminary races leading up to the 1961 Daytona 500 and he knew then that he had a great race car.
		Panch said, "I was suppose to stay about a half lap behind him (Roberts) and that's where I was when his engine uncorked." Roberts, who had won the pole for the 500, totally dominated the race as he led 170 laps before his engine conked out with 13 laps remaining.
