Talented tyro Bill Rexford and Glen ‘Fireball’ Roberts meet to settle the 1950 Grand National crown at Hillsboro, NC (mile long dirt) for the season finale. Rexford holds a thin series lead over both Roberts and Lee Petty, yet drops a motor during the early laps. Roberts can seize the NGN with a fifth place finish, yet his now storied heavy foot also kills a motor just beyond crossed flags and the 23 year old Rexford, watching from the pits in non-running P26, captures series honors. Rexford still holds the distinction as NASCAR’s youngest national champion.
