I read your reply to my wife and she said “that’s it, Mcquaig”. Her dad knew him. She said that they had a car there named the Saint. She said they let her drive it some at Daytona when she was a teenager. (Once around the speedway)
They did have a car called "The Saint", but I thought it was a drag car. Funny enough, Ned owned a Pontiac that LeRoy Yarbrough finished 13th in at the 1963 Daytona 500.
