Sunday 6th March 1955

Lee Petty surged to the lead in the 65th lap and led the rest of the 200-lap main event in the last NASCAR Grand National race at Oglethorpe Speedway in Pooler, Georgia, US. Don White finished second and pole-starter Dick Rathman, who led the first 64 laps, took third. The half-mile dirt track, which opened just outside of Savannah in 1951, still hosts weekly racing events.
