Keeping up with where cars were on a race track was a daunting task in the early days of NASCAR, especially when there were as many as 75 circling such tracks as Darlington (S.C.) Raceway during the inaugural Southern 500 on Sept. 4, 1950. There had to be a way to keep up with the running order with so many cars circling the track. In the early days, NASCAR's founder Bill France, Sr. looked into several plans before settling on a simple yet effective way to keep the running order intact for an entire event without controversy. Still, there were times when hurt feelings did prevail and protests were issued. Historians Ben White and Jerry Bonkowski discuss those scoring systems, as well as other subjects including the origins of No. 75 during podcast No. 75 of "A Lifetime in NASCAR."
