Nice work Roberto! Joe worked on the team with Denis Rioux to create the GN55 mod. He painted this same car 10 years ago!

Actually Roberto... this chevy is First WIN in Nascar. They ran as early as 1949 with Chevy in Nascar.

Floridian Bill Snowden helped Chevrolet make its NASCAR debut in 1949 by finishing fifth at Occoneechee Speedway in North Carolina, but it would be another six years before Fonty Flock got the brand its first win at Columbia, S.C. Two years later, Buck Baker won Chevy's first championship.
