Race #11The NASCAR Grand National Series made their 11th stop of 1951 at the Columbia Speedway, in Cayce, South Carolina. Herb Thomas led the field to the green flag and would quickly begin to build up a lead around the half mile dirt track in front of a crowd of 7,750 fans as Thomas's Plymouth would keep all challenges behind him for the first quarter of the race before being challenged as Buck Baker, Jimmy Ayers and Bill Blair would all have their time in the lead, with Blair having the car to beat on the long runs, holding a nearly ten second lead a one point before the race's final caution came out. When the green flag came back out after pit stops, Blair had to come back down due to his crew not getting all the lug nuts on, knocking Blair out of contention as Thomas would reassume the lead, leading for the next five laps before he was passed by Frank Mundy, who looked like he would go on to score the win.

Race #12The NASCAR Grand National Series made their 12th stop of 1951 at the Dayton Speedway, in Dayton, Ohio. Tim Flock led the field to the green flag in front of a crowd of 10,000 fans as Flock would keep all challengers behind him for nearly the entire first half of the race before lap traffic allowed for Red Harvey to take the lead as well as Walt Sprague before Dick Rathman would assume the lead. Much like with Flock, once in the lead, Rathman was the dominate car, lapping all the way up to fifth place and looked like he was easily going to score his first career win, but with fifth laps to go, Rathman's car began to smoke entering Turn 2. Rathman would pull to the inside of the track, with Tim Flock assume the lead, Rathman would pull onto pit road and then into the garage, his day done due to a broken Piston. Despite the race's second and final caution come out seconds later due to V.E. Miller stalling on the Frontstretch, Flock would easily hold off Marshall Teague to score his second win of 1951. Other Noticeables: Tim Flock scored his 2nd win of the year, Flock led 2 times for 106 laps, including the final 15 laps, It was the 2nd win of his career in the NASCAR Grand National Series and his first since Lakeview; 9 races ago, Don Bailey(11th), Bob Green(12th), Bill Majot(14th), Oda Greene(28th) and V.E.

Herb Thomas led the field to the green flag in front of a packed crowd of 7,653 fans in attendance as Thomas would keep command of the race for the first quarter of the race until a early caution came out on Lap 17 due to the stalled car of Lou Figaro, who had just won at Gardena one day earlier, would be the first driver to drop out of the race after later crashing into the pit road wall a few laps later. When the green flag came back out, Marshall Teague, who had climbed from his 20th starting position, would pass Herb Thomas for the lead on Lap 25, and much like he had done in his previous starts in 1951, once in the lead, Teague was unstoppable, pulling away from his challengers despite four other cautions flying during the day, Teague would lap the field twice and would easily score his 6th win of 1951.
