We have received three pre-1950 trophies and the personal scrapbooks of Ray Jannel who raced motorcycles and midgets throughout New England and as far west as California. The contribution came from his nephew, Bob Jannel, who for many years worked for Winston as a liaison to NASCAR during the years when Winston sponsored NASCAR’s top series.
