Who was the first INDY driver to win at Daytona in the stock cars. No, it wasn't A.J. or Mario but none other that ol' Lone Star J.R himself. Johnny Rutherford won the first qualifying race for the '63 Daytona 500 in Smokey's "mystery" engined '63 Impala. Now, where was this picture of the winning car taken?

which book? I got the collectors edition 3 volume leather bound and signed set that was issued a few weeks b4 his death....never finished them yet as they are hard to read.

ps - about the time dale bought it, a camera crew went thru the 'best damn garage' - under wraps were truly rare and amazing hardware

If I'm understanding the question right, you won't find this one in your book. It's a color pic I snagged off the internet of the shop and combined with a pic of my model of Smokey's Impala.
