Does anyone know the answers to these questions?

1974 Nationals

Ron "Doc" Dawson of Lima, Ohio, finished 19th in the 1974 Knoxville Nationals "A" Main driving for (?) Schrader. What was the car owner's first name? Any information on him? What did Doc Dawson's finishing position pay that year?

 

1976 Nationals

"Doc" Dawson failed to make it out of the "B" Main in the 1976 Knoxville Nationals. Who was he driving for? Mac Clingan had sold the sprinter that Dawson had driven the previous three years to a group of local businessmen (including Mike Brecht's dad). Doc went with the car and eventually died in it at the Springfield Mile on October 3, 1976. But, was that the car he drove at the 1976 Knoxville Nationals?

Any information would be appreciated. Please send it to [email protected].

I just saw your post.

 

I will ask dad, I'm sure he could fill in some of the blanks. He knew Doc pretty well.

I had a light blue t shirt that had a dark blue #18 on it, circled by silver stars...Doc always said I was his biggest fan. I was only 4 when he was killed, but I still remember dad sitting me down at the kitchen table and telling me Doc had died racing.......I cried.
