Race #34
It was a clear day in Flat Rock, Michigan as the NASCAR Convertible Series made their 34th stop of the 1956 season at the Flat Rock Speedway.
Bun Emery led the field to the Green Flag as drivers raced for only the second time in series history at the Flat Rock Speedway, but it would be Norman Schihl who would get by Emery in Turn 2 and would go on to lead the first lap. Unlike the previous event at this track, the race was a calm one, with no cautions coming out and drivers giving each other room. Dick Joslin would take the lead for the first time early in the event and he looked to be on his way to his first career win, but championship contender Bob Welborn would move past him with seventy three laps and would be on defense for the remaining laps to score his fifth win of the season, and also gained the points lead back.
Other Noticeables:
Bob Welborn scored his 5th win of the year,
Welborn led 1 time for 73 laps, which were the final 73 laps,
It was the 5th win of his career in the NASCAR Convertible Series and his first since Columbia; 20 races ago,

Race #35
It was a clear day in Rochester, New York as the NASCAR Convertible Series made their 35th stop of the 1956 season at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.
Larry Frank led the field to the Green Flag but it would be Joe Weatherly who would lead the first lap as the 5,300 fans in attendance were given a great show as cautions and battles for the lead happened all day as no one would truly dominate as both Weatherly and points leader Bob Welborn would lead much of the race before Welborn would take the lead for the final time with sixty six laps to go and would hold off a hard charging Gwyn Staley and Weatherly to score his 6th win of the year and second in a row.

Race #36
It was a clear night in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as the NASCAR Convertible Series made their 36th stop of the 1956 season at the Heidelberg Raceway.
Joe Weatherly led the field to the Green Flag and would lead the first lap in his Pete DePaolo owned Ford as a early caution would keep the field close before Weatherly decided it was time to go as he began to pull away from all challengers as mechanical problems would knock out five drivers including championship contenders Bob Welborn and Don Oldenberg. Despite two cautions coming out with less then fifty laps to go, Weatherly was able to keep in front for every single lap, and would go on to score his third win of the season by leading every single lap.
Other Noticeables:
Joe Weatherly scored his 3rd win of the year,
Weatherly led 1 time for 200 laps, which was every single lap,
It was the 3rd win of his career in the NASCAR Convertible Series and his first since Civic Stadium; 10 races ago,

This game must be psychic. Not only did Weatherly win the real race, he also led all the laps!
