This is NOT an official NASCAR site. It is solely intended as a fan's informational site. You will find information about the beginning and very early days of NASCAR, plus much more! It is not just about the drivers . . . . it's much more.

It's about the stories behind the stories, the cars, tracks, owners, mechanics and statistics galore. You will find some of the best Bench Racin' on the net. To qualify for inclusion, the driver would have only race in one NASCAR sanctioned race. Others would have to have had an impact on the sport.

Legends is not just about the "stars", but those who made the Legend of Nascar. Yes, some entries are "off the wall" (no pun intended) and some are obscure and each took research to find, but we will strive to become an information source of any and all who made the sport what it is today. Our mission will be to collect the most information we can find. And that's also up to you. If you have a story to tell, that's what this site is all about. Just email it HERE.

09 It is with extreme sadness I must report that my father, Dick May, passed away this afternoon at 3:50PM. As many of you know, he has been quite sick for the past year and his body was just worn out when pneumonia set in. In his own words, “He hit the wall for the final time”. His humor was intact and he was strong until the end. Thank you to all who have given me kind words and strength during this difficult time. Funeral Arrangements are with the Cavin Cook Funeral Home in Mooresville, NC (date pending). A memorial service will also be held in NY at a future date in late June or early July.

Frank Mundy, early NASCAR racer, dies at 91

Friday, May. 15, 2009 Frank 'Rebel' Mundy Page Frank Mundy, a former NASCAR and AAA competitor in the late 1940 and early '50s, has died in Atlanta. Mundy, born Francisco Eduardo Menendez, was 91 and is survived by his wife, Mae.

Also known by the nickname "Rebel", which he sometimes signed as a middle name, Mundy competed in more than 50 NASCAR events from 1949 to 1956, earning three wins - at Columbia, S.C., Martinsville, Va., and Mobile, Ala. He also won four poles and recorded 24 top-10 finishes. He was the 1955 champion in the American Automobile Association.

Mundy is often remembered for driving a Studebaker, but the Georgia driver was also associated with the powerful Chryslers organization of Mercury Marine owner Carl Kiekhaefer, widely regarded as NASCAR's first big-spending, mega-team owner.

Mundy and Indianapolis 500 figure Tony Bettenhausen drove Keikhaefer's cars in American Automobile Association races before the multimillionaire turned his attention to NASCAR in the mid-1950s. Mundy, Tim Flock, and Buck Baker were among his drivers in the growing stock car racing series.
