Race #3
It was a clear day in Hillsborough, North Carolina as the NASCAR Convertible Series made their 3rd stop of the 1956 season at the Orange Speedway.
Dave Hirschfield led the field to the green and would lead the first lap as the 0..900 mile dirt track proved to be a calm event as only three cautions would fly, allowing for drivers to race side-by-side nearly every lap and put on quite a show for the 11,000 fans in attendance. Joe Weatherly would take over the lead early and would lead over thirty laps before being passed by points leader Don Oldenberg. Having gone without a win yet despite leading in points, Don Oldenberg would begin to pull away late before a late caution would set up a ten lap shootout, a battle Oldenberg would win over "Tiger"Tom Pistone and Curtis Turner.
Other Noticeables:
Don Oldenberg scored his 1st win of the year,
Oldenberg led 1 time for 67 laps, including the final 67 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Convertible Series in his 3rd start,
