#TrickleTuesday Complete win list from the 67-win season in 1972. Interesting to note that the first race wasn’t until April, and last race was October. Also notable 08/27/1972, won the 300-lap race at the MN State Fair and then won a 100-lap race at Plover the same day.

Congrats to first time @NASCAROReillyAP winner @WilliamSawalich. Check out this interview from 5 years ago at his @raceoktoberfest debut. youtu.be/hW5FBT95ZNI
