I could not vouch for all these numbers, but they are believable. Often the claim that a given driver won “hundreds” of races lacks much documentation and does not stand up to scrutiny.
Of general interest
This is Bobby Bard in the car in which he won the 1970 Riverside 500. The number, 101, came from when the car’s owner, Ralph Boehm, bought Ed’s #61 in 1960, changed it from 61 to 101, and from then on used “101” for his cars.
