Fantasy NASCAR Racing

was a NASCAR Cup Series driver from Spartanburg, S.C.  Eubanks made his first Cup start in the 1950 Southern 500 at Darlington, SC.  He would start 21st in his 1950 Mercury and finish 19th; 41 laps off the lead.  From 1951-1956 he did the majority of his racing.  He ran about half of the Cup series events each of these seasons.  1951 saw him start 12 races; but he would post three top 5 finishes with a best finish of second at Michigan state Fairgrounds in Detroit.  He started 13th but Tommy Thompson would out distance Eubanks by about 1/2 lap to claim the win.  Already in these times it would seem that Detroit would understand the importance of having their cars compete as there were 15 different makes of cars in the race. Including: Chrysler, Oldsmobile, Nash, Ford, Plymouth, Chevy, Mercury, Hudson, Lincoln, Studebaker, Packard, Henry J, Cadillac and Buick.  In 1952 Eubanks would start in 19 of the 34 races and post four top 5 finishes and finish seventh in points.  The following season he would end up eighth in points and have seven top 5 finishes; including driving his Oates Motor Company #82 to a second place finish at Hickory NC.  1954 was the year he ran 34 of the 37 races and he would have his best points season; finishing fifth in the Cup points. He would claim 11 top 5 finishes and 24 top 10's with a second place finish at the road course on from the airport converted into a road course at Linden Airport in Linden NJ.  This race is famous for being the first time a foreign make car ever won a NASCAR race as Al Keller drove his Jaguar to
