Description

Since the early 1960s, road courses have been a part of NASCAR's premier Cup Series schedule. The first road course came to NASCAR with Riverside International Raceway in 1958 and remained through 1988, as well as Augusta International Raceway in 1963 and Watkins Glen International since 1957 that continues on the circuit today. In the 1960s, 70s and 80s, many great drivers have gone to victory lane but a special breed of drivers  have won on road courses led by four-time Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon with nine victories.  NASCAR historians Ben White and Jerry Bonkowski take a look back at some of those great drivers as well as a couple of winners that carried the number 56 to victory, namely Jim Hurtise in 1966 at Atlanta and Martin Truex Jr. at Sonoma in 2013 during podcast 56 of "A Lifetime in NASCAR.  Give "A Lifetime in NASCAR" a listen for some interesting information on this week's podcast.
