American fans saw some familiar faces at the 1976 24 Hours of Le Mans, as some NASCAR teams made the trip over the Atlantic for the twice-around-the-clock classic. Hershel McGriff and W.C. Donlavey each brought a V8-powered stock car to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The class proved very popular among the fans, but what exactly led to it's introduction?

#nascar #lemans #history Here's the history of the one and only time where Nascar got to race at the Le Mans. I cover the events that lead up to it, the drivers, and the amazing 1972 Olympia Beer Dodge Charger and 1974? (not sure on year) Truxmore Ford Torino that got to go to France.

You forgot Cadillac entered 2 cars in 1950- 1 was a stock off the showroom type 61, and the other was a type 61 with a special streamlined body the French called "Le Monstre". Herschel McGriff is truly a legend.

He won the Mexican road race in 1950 when I was 4 years old, then in the 1970's I raced with him in the SCCA nationals in Seattle and we all commented on how fast that old guy was, then I quit racing for 25 years, and after raising a family, I started NASCAR short track racing in 2000, and guess what-

I found myself on the track racing with Herschel McGriff. My last race was in 2014 at the age of 68, barely a youngster compared to his last NASCAR race at age 90. .
