Piston Cup Racing Series: Difference between revisions

In the 1950s seasons, the cars were production vehicles with no modifications allowed. The term stock car implied that the vehicles racing were unmodified street cars. In 1951, [[Doc Hudson|Hudson Hortnet]] started racing and won in 1951, 1952 and 1953 season. He achieved thirteen victories in 1951, twenty-seven victories in 1952, and twenty-two victories in 1953 and sixteen victories in 1954.<ref>These statistics can be found in descriptions of Hudson's racing history at [[Cars Land]] in California.</ref> In one of those seasons, [[Louise Nash]] started racing, being the first and only one woman to race in the time of the 1950s. She won three races in a row in her first season against Hudson Hornet. Because of discrimination, she had to steal her racing number to get her first chance on the track. But Louise's fearless driving style soon won her the respect of every car she raced.
