    Great poster. The Nash driven, by Johnny Mantz, finish 2nd on the same lap as the winner Marshal Teaque, in his 51 Hudson. They were the only 2 cars on the lead lap.



    Johnny Mantz had 6 starts, in his one year career. No wins, 1 - 2nd, 1 - 3rd, and 2 - (6-10)

    Laps lead 28

    Laps 532

    Races Lead 1

    21st in points

    Earnings $2025

    4 out of 6 starts in the top ten. That is a very good percentage.



    Have a good day. Lee

    You've got a great picture here man.. and that's a really great Nash. It is old but sure looks kicking on track. Johnny Mantz's stats looks great for someone driving an old Nash. I can't imagine how he's able to handle such car and still give really good results.
