Fonty
Flock, a legendary NASCAR driver whose three siblings also competed, was chosen
by the fans to be enshrined in the Talladega-Texaco Walk of Fame in nearby Davey
Allison Memorial Park on the eve of the Oct. 3 EA SPORTS
500.
Flock, a native of Decatur, GA began his racing career in 1949. In 154 races, he
posted 19 wins and 33 poles. Yet he is most noted for the fact that in nine of
his 19 victories, he started from the pole position.
He came from a racing family as younger brother Tim, older brother Bob and sister Ethel also raced. Flock passed away in 1972 at the age of 51.
