== Overview ==
In February of 1957 the first '57 Chevy, affectionately known as the 'Black Widow' made it's debut in NASCAR at the Daytona International Speedway. Throughout the year drivers Buck Baker, Marvin Paunch, Fireball Roberts, Larry Frank, Speedy Thompson, and Bob Welborn would pilot these now classic vehicles.
Early in the 1957 season the Automobile Manufactures Association (AMA) stated that its members should become less involved in motor sports. When a car left the track at Martinsville Speedway, five spectators were injured, including a young boy. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler became less passionate about providing financial and administrative support for the teams.〔 On June 6th the auto manufactures withdrew their backing from the sport.〔 Late in the season at the North Wilkesboro Speedway, a wheel from driver Tiny Lund's car was thrown into stands, and a spectator was killed.
On November 27, 1957, construction began on a new race track now known as Daytona International Speedway after five years of negations. The ground-breaking ceremony takes place one month to the day after Buck Baker wins the final event of the season at Central Carolina Fairgrounds in Greensboro, N.C; thus securing his second consecutive championship.〔
