In 1958 the NASCAR gang added a second race weekend to the calendar. The "Good Ol'Boys" arrived in full force for a 100 mile Grand National Race for full bodied American sedans. "Cannonball" Baker led the officials as National Commissioner of NASCAR and Bill France was listed as the President. Buck Baker, Junior Johnson, Lee Petty and Fireball Roberts were among the field of 31 entrants in a thundering herd of Chevys, Fords, and Pontiacs. Historically, BridgeHampton Race Circuit may have hosted the first Grand National stock car race ever held on a non-oval road course.
