Race #1
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 1st stop of 1949 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Charlotte Speedway.
A crowd of 13,000 fans were in attendance to see history as the first ever NASCAR Strictly Stock Series race was held on June 19th, 1949 at the dirt track in Charlotte. Curtis Turner will forever be remembered as the guy who led the field to the green, but it was Jimmie Lewallen who will go into the history books as the first ever lap leader. A tough dirt surface led to drivers having almost no grip at all as a total of ten cautions would fly while eight drivers dropped out due to mechanical problems.
Archie Smith would take the lead early during a round of pit stops and thanks to the rash of cautions he was able to keep his lead but slowly working on his car was Jim Roper. Having made his final stop, Roper made his move for the lead with thirty nine laps to go and thanks to three more late cautions, Roper was able to defend his lead as a five lap shootout led to Red Byron to drive up from fifth spot but time ran out as Roper scored the monumental and historic win.
Other Noticeables:
Jim Roper scored his 1st win of the year,
Roper led 1 time for 39 laps, which were the final 39 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series in his 1st start,

Race #2
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 2nd stop of 1949 in Daytona Beach, Florida at the Beach & Road Course.
A pack crowd of 5,000 fans were in attendance at the first ever NASCAR Strictly Stock Series event at the Daytona Beach Road Course. Red Byron, a former World War 2 flight engineer on a B-24 bomber, led a field of twenty eight drivers to the green flag but it was Tim Flock who would lead the first lap. The drivers quickly spread themselves out over the four mile course as the fans were given a great show as battles for the lead happened nearly every lap during the first half of the race as Flock, Byron, Jimmy Thompson, Joe Littlejohn and Frank Christian swapped the lead.
With only a forty lap distance, some drivers pitted on lap ten while others waited until ten laps to go as Littlejohn pitted with ten to go handing the lead back to Byron. Byron would use his former Modified Tour experience on the track and would go on to score the biggest margin of victory in series history on his way to his first career win.
Other Noticeables:
Red Byron scored his 1st win of the year,
Byron led 5 times for 16 laps, which were the final 10 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series in his 2nd start,

Race #3
The NASCAR Strictly Stock Series made their 3rd stop of 1949 in Hillsborough, North Carolina at the Occoneechee Speedway.
A pack crowd of 17,500 fans were in attendance at the first ever NASCAR Strictly Stock Series event at the one mile dirt track in North Carolina. Bob Flock led a field of twenty eight drivers to the green as most people were hoping for yet another classic race, but this time were disappointed as all drivers gave each other room for the most part as only one caution would fly, resulting in long green flag runs and only gave drivers two chances to make changes to their cars to try and stay in contact with the leaders.
Bob Flock was able to use his past experience on dirt tracks to keep everyone behind him for the entire race as he became the first ever driver to start on the pole, lead every single lap, and scored his first career win.
Other Noticeables:
Bob Flock scored his 1st win of the year,
Flock led 1 time for 200 laps, which was every single lap,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series in his 3rd start,
J.D. Edwards(7th), Bobby Greene(11th), Buddy Helms(14th), Bill Harrison(15th), Bob Apperson(16th), Garland Smith(17th) and Jim Carrusso(23rd) made their NASCAR Strictly Stock Series debuts,
