TRICKS OF THE TRADE

A crew member gives Neil "Soapy" Castles' car a healthy dosing of baby powder in an attempt to aid its aerodynamics. Did such a thing really work? In a total of 498 starts between 1957 and 1976, Castles captured 51 top-five and 178 top-10 finishes. His best finishes were four runnerup efforts on short tracks long gone from the Cup schedule.
