Good photos, would love to see more ... and the film footage that was mentioned.  I never got to see races at Morristown but knew a fellow that raced there, Steve Maciag and did a commissioned painting for him of his #59A coupe that raced at Morristown.

Was Steve from Lake Parsippany area?

Looks like Frankie too ??

RuCu I think that's right about it being Tommy Elliot. The woman in the middle I'm pretty sure is Wally Campbell's widow. Must have been a tribute race for him of some kind. 

Frankie Schneider to her left and I believe Jackie McLaughlin to her right.

exactly correct , rucu --that trophy that Tommie  got that night,

tommie later said, meant more to him than all the trophys he evr won 

in his fantasic modified career --Wally Campbell was his hero --

blessings !!

I did the best I could to clean them up but I'm not the best at it. My father had a bunch of these from Mr Russamanno because he was the was from Whippany like us. The pictures are in not so great shape. I'm probably a little late posting these because they are from the early 50's and I'm not sure how many now can say they were there. About 5 or 6 years ago whenever Richard Petty was last at the Motorsports show my father had a nice talk with him about the night he came to Morristown Speedway to run I guess a dirt NASCAR race. 

HEY,MAN THANKS ALOT FOR POSTING!! these kinds  of photos keep the

early stock car history alive--really appreciate it !!!

blessings !!

No need to apologize Anthony! I was never at Morriston way before my time. However, I enjoy these posts from days gone by. Thanks for posting. 

PICTURE #5 TOMMIE ELLIOTT AND FRANKIE SCHIEDER, BOTH HOLDING AWARDS. REALLY COOL SHOT.

Here's a photo taken at the same time as the one above (Morristown).  The photo was provided to us by the late Ken Edsell, whose uncle Charles Zulla was the photographer.  From what I remember, the image was from a ceremony to remember Wally Campbell who lost his life in a sprint car in Salem IN in 1954.  When I originally scanned the image, I was told that it is Mrs. Campbell in the photo.

More info on Wally Campbell:  www.wallycampbell.com

Does any one know who the guys on the right of the picture with the hardware are?  The guy with the glasses looks like Leonard from Big Bang Theory (Johnny Gelecki).

The guy in the glasses is N.J. driver Nick Nicolette. The guy on the right is NASCAR official Bob Sall. If Jeff Hardifer sees this he has a Charlie Zulla photo on the Campbell website with all the names.

Bob Sall, Glenn Sullivan's uncle.  Joe, don't delete this, it's true.  LOL

On Elliots left naybe is Nick Nicolette, Jim Delany and Bob Sall ??

Maybe Hully Bunn in the X ??

My father always said it was Hully Bunn in the X. One of dad's favorites. Looking at the picture I think the guy to the far left (looking from camera guy) is track owner Joe Sorrano. Does anyone know who the driver is by himself holding the checkered flag?
