Race #8
It was a clear day in Greenville, South Carolina as the NASCAR Convertible Series made their 8th stop of the 1957 season at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway.
Possum Jones led the field to the Green Flag but it was points leader Joe Weatherly who would lead the first lap before Jones retook the lead. Weatherly would suffer mechanical early and Jones would lose a lap due to a flat tire early, giving the lead to Curtis Turner, who then lost the lead during pitstops himself to defending champion Bob Welborn. Welborn would dominate the day, leading 120 of the 200 laps, but was forced to make a pit stop with forty laps to go, handing the lead back to Turner.
Turner would build up a full lap lead before Welborn and Darel Dieringer were both able to get their laps back, and cut into Turner's lead each lap, but thanks to lap traffic and an eleven second lead, Turner was able to hold on for his second win in a row and the 22nd of his career in the Convertible Series.
Other Noticeables:
Curtis Turner scored his 2nd win of the year and second in a row,
Turner led 2 times for 68 laps, including the final 40 laps,
It was the 22nd win of his career in the NASCAR Convertible Series and his first since Richmond; 1 race ago,
