Did the #25 give it away?
It's not Jabe Thomas though a good guess.
I know the Racetrack is Beltsville Speedway !!! I'm still trying to think whom the Driver is .

It is Beltsville Speedway, MD around 1967 but he was the 1958 North Carolina modified champion

I am mistaken, he's the 1959 Nascar modified champion...that might help a lot.
This photo might help...

Right you are RC. Photo taken at Beltsville around 1967.
"Glenn Guthrie, the 1959 NASCAR modified champ worked for Ford Motor Company in charge of the Presidential cars at the Whitehouse. He would "flat tow" his cars to Alcyon from Maryland, with a new Lincoln. I was told, that he wouldn't trade them in but chose to put them in storage, and at the time of his early death for Lew Gehrig's disease, he had a impressive collection." - Russ Dodge (I wonder if they called him Rusty?)

Could be Mike Grbac or Leroy Felty.
Bobby...is this your car? Ed from Okidoki emailed me about the show and threw your name in there (ha!) to persuade me to go. Of course I already plan on it but I liked the way he used your name...do you know him personally?

Notice the #7 coupe, how far the motor sits back, that driver must have been backed up to the rear window?

Yes Kenny, I didn't leave the name off the photo. Racerchaser said he worked for him in 1970, it wasn't a trivia question.
