Race #1
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 1st stop of 1949 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Charlotte Speedway.
A crowd of 13,000 fans were in attendance to see history as the first ever NASCAR Strictly Stock Series race was held on June 19th, 1949 at the dirt track in Charlotte. Curtis Turner will forever be remembered as the guy who led the field to the green, but it was Jimmie Lewallen who will go into the history books as the first ever lap leader. A tough dirt surface led to drivers having almost no grip at all as a total of ten cautions would fly while eight drivers dropped out due to mechanical problems.
Archie Smith would take the lead early during a round of pit stops and thanks to the rash of cautions he was able to keep his lead but slowly working on his car was Jim Roper. Having made his final stop, Roper made his move for the lead with thirty nine laps to go and thanks to three more late cautions, Roper was able to defend his lead as a five lap shootout led to Red Byron to drive up from fifth spot but time ran out as Roper scored the monumental and historic win.
Other Noticeables:
Jim Roper scored his 1st win of the year,
Roper led 1 time for 39 laps, which were the final 39 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series in his 1st start,

Race #2
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 2nd stop of 1949 in Daytona Beach, Florida at the Beach & Road Course.
A pack crowd of 5,000 fans were in attendance at the first ever NASCAR Strictly Stock Series event at the Daytona Beach Road Course. Red Byron, a former World War 2 flight engineer on a B-24 bomber, led a field of twenty eight drivers to the green flag but it was Tim Flock who would lead the first lap. The drivers quickly spread themselves out over the four mile course as the fans were given a great show as battles for the lead happened nearly every lap during the first half of the race as Flock, Byron, Jimmy Thompson, Joe Littlejohn and Frank Christian swapped the lead.
With only a forty lap distance, some drivers pitted on lap ten while others waited until ten laps to go as Littlejohn pitted with ten to go handing the lead back to Byron. Byron would use his former Modified Tour experience on the track and would go on to score the biggest margin of victory in series history on his way to his first career win.
Other Noticeables:
Red Byron scored his 1st win of the year,
Byron led 5 times for 16 laps, which were the final 10 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series in his 2nd start,

Race #3
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 3rd stop of 1949 in Hillsborough, North Carolina at the Occoneechee Speedway.
A pack crowd of 17,500 fans were in attendance at the first ever NASCAR Strictly Stock Series event at the one mile dirt track in North Carolina. Bob Flock led a field of twenty eight drivers to the green as most people were hoping for yet another classic race, but this time were disappointed as all drivers gave each other room for the most part as only one caution would fly, resulting in long green flag runs and only gave drivers two chances to make changes to their cars to try and stay in contact with the leaders.
Bob Flock was able to use his past experience on dirt tracks to keep everyone behind him for the entire race as he became the first ever driver to start on the pole, lead every single lap, and scored his first career win.
Other Noticeables:
Bob Flock scored his 1st win of the year,
Flock led 1 time for 200 laps, which was every single lap,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series in his 3rd start,

Race #4
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 4th stop of 1949 in Langhorne, Philadelphia at the Langhorne Speedway.
A pack crowd of 20,000 fans were in attendance to see history as Sara Christian became the first ever woman to lead a NASCAR race to the green, however it was Curtis Turner who would lead the first lap. The one mile track that was a full circle with no straightaways was a pretty calm race but the battle for the lead was a great one all race long between Turner and Bob Flock but it would be a late race pit stop that would determine who would win at Langhorne.
With thirty laps to go, half of the field made pit stops handing the lead over to Flock while Turner got two tires and quickly began to close the gap while Flock rode around at half speed. With nine laps to go, Flock's hopes of a win ended as Turner was able to get by him and would go on to score the win, the first of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series.
Other Noticeables:
Curtis Turner scored his 1st win of the year,
Turner led 9 times for 144 laps, including the final 9 laps,

Race #5
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 5th stop of 1949 in Hamburg, New York at the Hamburg Speedway.
Glenn Dunaway led the field to the green in front of a crowd of 11,733 fans but it would be Bob Cameron who would get a great start on the outside and would go on to lead the first twenty eight laps as the half mile dirt track proved to be a calm race despite there being four caution flags. The lead would swap hands six times during the fist one hundred lap and when Bill Rexford got into the lead, he began to dominating the race, losing the lead only due to a round of pit stops. Back out front, Rexford's lead stay about two seconds as it appeared he would go on to score his first career win; enter Frankie Schneider.
With less then ten laps go, a caution came out when Frankie Schneider was spun, setting up a dash to the finish. With the green back out, it took pole sitter Glenn Dunaway only two laps to pass Rexford for the lead. Having not led a single lap until taking the lead with seven to go, Dunaway was able to hold off a hard charging Ray Erickson for his first career NASCAR Strictly Stock Series win.

Race #6
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 6th stop of 1949 in Martinsville, Virgina at the Martinsville Speedway.
Red Byron led the field to the green in front of a crowd of 10,000 fans and would quickly show off his talents, keeping his challengers behind him for the first thirty seven laps before finally being passed by Clyde Minter, who was making his debut. Minter would lead through much of the first half before Curtis Turner would take over on the 70th lap, and apart from losing the lead during pit stops, Turner was never challenged, as he would go on to easily score his second win of the season.
Other Noticeables:
Curtis Turner scored his 2nd win of the year,
Turner led 3 times for 121 laps, including the final 34 laps,
It was the 2nd win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series and his first since Langhorne; 2 races ago,

Race #7
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 7th stop of 1949 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the Heidelberg Raceway.
Sara Christian led the field to the green for the second time in her career but just like with her first pole, she wouldn't lead the first lap as Glenn Dunaway would take the lead going down the Backstretch and he would lead the first two laps before Lee Petty would take the lead. Having not yet scored a win, Petty would be on defense as only one caution would fly during the entire race, allowing drivers only one chance at Petty. However even during pit stops Petty held a commanding lead and would go on to score his first ever NASCAR sanctioned win.
Other Noticeables:
Lee Petty scored his 1st win of the year,
Petty led 1 time for 198 laps, which were the final 198 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series in his 5th start,
John Wright(6th), Joe Merola(7th), Don Rogala(9th), Clarence Burris(10th), Lloyd Moore(12th), Curt Foss(13th), Nick Garin(19th), Ralph Zrimsek(21st), John Riggi(22nd) and Skip Lewis(23rd) made their NASCAR Strictly Stock Series debuts,
Red Byron, who was not entered in this event, kept his points lead, leading Bill Blair by 120 points
Heading into the final race of the season, mathematically three drivers still have a shot of winning the championship
1.22-Red Byron: 770 points
2.44&46&2-Bill Blair-120 points
3.7&14-Bob Flock-140 points
