The ticket stub is in VG-EX condition with two staple marks in the top left corner.  There are no creases.  The back of the ticket has the 250th Anniversary of Detroit festival logo with the dates of 1701-1951.  Please review the photos as they are part of the item description for the stub.

The 1951 Motor City 250 was held at the Michigan State Fairgrounds in Detroit on August 12th.  The race was held on a one mile dirt track and saw a field of 58 cars take the green before a crowd of 16,352.

After more than four hours, Tommy Thompson would win the race that saw Marshall Teague, Fonty Flock, Gober Sosebee, and Curtis Turner all lead at one time or another.  The top five finishers consisted of Thompson, Joe Eubanks, Johnny Mantz, Red Byron, and Paul Newkirk.

A quick internet search will find a YouTube video of the race that is worth watching.  History was made by Bill France taking a race to Detroit in the very early years of NASCAR.

Please review the other racing items I have listed at the eBay store, The Checkered Past.  I will combine shipping and provide a refund on shipping charges for anything over cost.  Thanks!
