1955 Southern 500
The ''1955 Southern 500'', the sixth running of the event, was a NASCAR Grand National Series event that was held on September 5, 1955 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina. This race officially spanned on a paved oval track. An unofficial 30-minute highlight film of this race would appear on the collector's set of ''Stock Cars of 50s & 60s – Stock Car Memories: Darlington-Southern 500''; which was released in 2008.〔
Television coverage of the 1955 Southern 500 was impossible due to the then-niche demographics of the burgeoning motorsport. However, the local radio station ''WJMX'' made it possible for housebound fans (i.e., young boys and housewives) to hear their favorite drivers from the first green flag to the checkered flag.〔 School children who lived in the area could either watch the race live or listen on the local radio because the race took place on Labor Day.〔 Coverage of the race would be spotty outside the Darlington area due to the broadcasting limitations of AM radio. No school was held that day because it was a legal U.S. statutory holiday. Confederate flags were still legal to utilize in all parts of the state back then; they were shown with pride alongside the Stars and Stripes.
While the cost of gasoline would be under 25 cents a gallon (6.25 cents a litre) back in 1955, transportation to and from the race would be gruelling because the Interstate Highway System had not begun construction until the spring of 1956. This public works project would be activated by the passing of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and would help play a role in modernizing the infrastructure of the Southern United States.
