Fantasy NASCAR Racing

He was the brother of NASCAR pioneers Tim Flock and Bob Flock, and of the second female NASCAR driver Ethel (Flock) Mobley.  Like many early NASCAR drivers, (and his brother Bob) Fonty's career began by delivering illegal moonshine.  He started delivering on his bicycle as a teenager.  He used his car to deliver moonshine as he got older. "I used to deliberately seek out the sheriff and get him to chase me," he later recalled.  "It was fun, and besides we could send to California to get special parts to modify our cars, and the sheriff couldn't afford to do that.  He won a 100 mile race Lakewood Speedway Park in Atlanta, Georgia in 1940, as he raced on dirt tracks in Georgia.  He qualified in the pole position for the July 27, 1941 race at the Daytona Beach Road Course beside Roy Hall.  Flock took the early lead, before Flock and Hall got together in the south turn.  Flock rolled and landed upside down in bushes. The seat belt broke during the rolling, and Flock was tossed around.  He was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. Fonty suffered a crushed chest, broken pelvis, head and back injuries, and severe shock.  He served in the United States Army Air Corps for four years during World War II.  His brother convinced car owner Ed Schenck to put Flock in his car at the first race at the North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 5, 1947.  Flock won the pole and his heat race.  He won the 30 lap feature after not racing in 4½ years.  He took over his brother Bob's ride later in the season after Bob broke his back.  He won seven of 47 races that season, and beat Ed Samples and Red Byron to win the National Championship Stock Car Circuit
