DJ's got it! :up: Johnny Mantz won at the Milwaukee Mile in 1948 (It was still dirt then) and had raced at Indy in 1948 and 1949. He was the slowest qualifier for the first Southern 500 starting 43rd in a car partially owned by Bill France. He knew tire wear would be a problem on an asphalt track so he mounted different tires than any of his competitors (I've read where it was truck tires or possibly even Indy type tire) He had less problems than the others, and ran away with the race.

I guess either you or Hoss can go next since both of you got half of the question.

Mantz used truck tires and never changed tires during the whole race.

In Cup yes, I know. 2 of which were great, knocking Gordon out of the way for his first, and schooling/snookering Harvick at Sears Point.

I was refering to his wins in CART.
