Fantasy NASCAR Racing

was an American race car driver.  He won on the Daytona Beach Road Course in 1949, 1950 and 1951.  He was born in Dawson County, Georgia, and began his career in 1940 at Atlanta's Lakewood Speedway.  He raced all over the US and drove any type of car that would put on a show for the fans.  In the early days he drove modified Fords, but as the modified era began to fade, he drove everything from Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Studebaker, Plymouths and Chevrolets.  If it would run, he would drive it into the ground or blow it sky high, usually running sideways through the turns.  He traveled anyplace where he could race.  Sosebee also liked to tell how he made NASCAR re-write their rule book, one year, after a sports car beach race.  Seems back then the gas tank was kept inside the cock pit where it was safe from rear end damage.  Well, a lot of the races run back then were short enough to not need refueling during the race.  But Gober, the "Wild Indian" had a plan if he should come in need of re-fueling.  His first opportunity for his brilliant idea for a pit stop came during a sports car race at Daytona Beach.  As he pulled to a quick stop in his pit a crew member jumped into the car with a 5 gallon can of gas.  After a brief 2 or 3 second stop he was off, with crew member aboard.  The crew member fueled the car on the go and remained in the car until the finish.  The 3 second stop was enough to give Gober the win but within seconds NASCAR was talking
