An appreciation video for Rhonda Glasnak and the staff of Racing’s North Turn Restaurant & Museum, as well as Buz McKim and his weekly “Legends of Racing” podcast pit crew, for their hospitality and hosting of a very special occasion in Daytona: the beachfront reunion of Paul Goldsmith and the “Roarin’ Relic,” the ’49 Olds Rocket 88 that he last drove in the car’s final Beach-Road Course race on February 21, 1958. Finishing fifth that day, two days later he went on to the final Grand National race run along the beach.
Goldsmith, a member of multiple halls of fame, including the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, located on the Daytona Speedway grounds, is the only man to win major Daytona races on a motorcycle and in a car on the 4.1-mile Beach-Road Course, and was also a winner on the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway upon its opening.
