Thanks very much Statsman . I searched for some info on the car but couldn't find a thing . Did you already have the info on this car or are you just one of the best data miners ever ?
,, and no its not that car being restored as it says in the article the car was cut up and scrapped , what a shame.
I remembered seeing that pic on one of my geeky model car forums posted by someone who knows supers a lot better than I do, the only trick was digging through the archives to find the post.
I also agree with the comments about Richmond. I saw him win one for one of the last times at the Glen.
Here are a couple of other pics of Jean Guy Chartrand who also drove a pretty famous #69 modified for New York's Ed Cloce as well, the Hemi Cuda:
This looks like an earlier incarnation of the Cloce super, note the higher cage:
I love this shot of the car, definitely got a Hemi in it
Cloce was inducted into the New York State Stock Car Association hall of fame in November 2005, here's summary from that induction.
"Potsdam's Ed Cloce first fielded a car at Plattsburgh's Airborne Park Speedway in the early 1960's and soon rose to prominence as owner of the Jean Guy Chartrand driven Hemi-Cuda #69,with the big engine and unusual styling capturing the hearts of scores of fans. Chartrand, a steady winner at Airborne and Albany-Saratoga, later dominated the action at Owego's Shangri-La Speedway. His retirement brought a cast of all-star replacements, with such notable talents as Jimmy Shampine, Reggie Ruggiero, Chuck Ciprich, Jerry Cook, Mike Ewanitsko and Brian Ross filling the #69's seat over the years.
Major wins included Ross' triumph in the Race of Champions at Pocono, the Oswego Bud 200 with Shampine, a trio of Oswego titles with Ross and three second place finishes on the NASCAR modified tour with Ruggiero. Cloce remains active, fielding modifieds for son Tommy in NASCAR and Race of Champions events."
