Sedalia, Mo. (June 17, 1956) – A heavy track failed to stop Frank Mundy as he won the NASCAR national convertible championship at the Missouri State Fairgrounds on Sunday afternoon.
Mundy’s winning time for the 100 laps on the 1-mile dirt oval was 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 8 seconds. The Atlanta, Ga., driver piloted a 1956 Dodge.The race was delayed almost two and a half hours as trucks tried to smooth out the track after overnight thunderstorms left the racing surface a muddy quagmire.
