Buck Simmons was one of the best there ever was. Been to Cherokee many times. These are still my favorite late models. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Thanks for sharing ! Bucky Simmons was the greatest pure driver I’ve ever known. When his heart was in it, he had no equal. R.I.P.

What a mistake to change this track!! I grew up going there every Saturday night. My dad had a #27 street stock car driven by David Green.

@@SLMdirtfan Well, he's wrong if that's what he's saying. The wedge cars, like you see here were the fastest dirt late models ever. And Gaffney today is NOT the same track it was then. Back then it was a half mile around the bottom, which of course means it was really > 1/2 mile around the racing line. Today's Gaffney is much shorter, maybe 3/8 at best. So, the lap times may be "lower" but they are not faster and in reality aren't even as fast.
