Look forward to any future postings about Red.
He was just about everybody's favorite driver in the 50s

Thanks Carl for the link to the nifty pic. I passed it on to my Mom who was a huge fan of his ( as well as Dad, since departed). Seems to me there was a driver with your 'last' name--- any relation?
Any resemblance is strictly a coincidence, you know how first generation German families can be, on our side of the family jalopy racers were to be avoided and worse.
Freddy, Billy and Paul had the good looks,driving talent and money, my job was to get outta town.
btw: I think there's several photos in our Norwood 'drivers section' from the cut down era that show Red Cummings in his #53 copper painted cut down that also had a team car #51 (not sure if it wasn't Red's brother in the 51? the memory's going slowly)
here's a link to one of them:
