Senior Moment From Larry
Jendras Jr: The Perfect "10" Body!
Why I have been a Modified stock car fan since a young age
was because of the way the cars looked and sounded. I never even seen this
car race, but when I printed this photo, I thought this car has all the
reasons that made me a Modified fan. |

09.25.09 | Chuck Hassler | The date on this photo would be 63 or 64. Modifieds before 63 only ran special shows at Reading. The car is Junior Northstine |
09.29.09 | Charlie Miller | I agree Larry , That is one nice looking body ! Add the fact it has running boards ,and a windshield , what more could you ask for . One thing, you say this is Reading , but it looks like he has asphalt tires on . |
11.26.09 | Pete Lovell | That is Junior Nothstein....no "r". He and his dad owned the Ford dealership in Kutztown, PA for many years. The 427 Ford engine in the car came from Holman and Moody and was extremely fast at Reading. Junior ran a very limited schedule and never had much success, and at least one really bad wreck, but he was always fun to watch. The tires on the car in the photo are certainly asphalt tires, but I'm not aware of any asphalt races that car ran. |
12.05.10 | Jane Graeff | When Junie was still a teenager back in the late '50s, he wanted to race at Reading. My father's (Bill Graeff) '34 coach, #750, was wrecked on a Friday night by our regular driver. Junie had a deal for my dad. He would give dad a '37 slant back sportsman that he was storing, and dad could swap-in the '34 flathead running gear and let Junie drive. It was a win-win situation. My dad got a free chassis and Junie got to race at Reading. |
