In the 1975 Stafford Spring Sizzler Ed drove the John Lukosavage Pinto to a strong 2nd place finish. He also drove the car in that spring’s Dogwood 500, in which, despite an early contact with the wall, he led and looked like he would win it until he had a fuel problem near the end, and finished 21st.

This is the #1 Pinto that Ed drove in early 1975 at both the Martinsville Dogwood 500 (which Ed led before mechanical problems set in) and the Stafford Spring Sizzler (in which Ed finished 2nd). Car owner John Lukosavage is in the foreground of the photo, which is from the Manchester Journal-Inquirer.
