1958 Powell Speedway Clyde Fox Checkered Flag Racing Photo Smiths #1380

Original vintage 1958 black-and-white dirt-track racing photograph from Powell Speedway, Powell, Ohio, showing driver Clyde Fox in a modified race car while holding a large checkered victory flag. Dated August 23, 1958, this striking nighttime racing image captures an early modified competition car with exposed mechanical components and prominent period sponsorship for 3 C Auto Parts Co., including the painted address 2995 Westerville Rd. The name “FOX” is visible on the car, identifying the driver. The reverse of the photograph carries the original red Smiths Racing Photos / W. H. Smith / Columbus, Ohio photographer’s stamp along with handwritten studio catalog information. The front identification notes “Powell, O. – 8-23-58,” giving the photograph strong period provenance.
