Comments: Comments provided by Russ: A wreck at Wilmington Speedway, a 1/4 mile asphalt track in Wilmington, Delaware, finished off the beautiful Williams # 44 coupe which carried the name " The Gem" across the front of the roof. It almost put an end to Ralph's driving career, giving him the feeling he had escaped "the big one". Thanks, Russ Dodge

11/29/03 Steve Elias I remember the night that the #44 coupe was wrecked, Ralph rolled over between the third and fourth turn and I ran into the roof of the car with the 44A also owned by Neil Williams. I felt bad but could not avoid hitting him.   Steve Elias
