  1. NASCAR purchased SAFE (Society of Auto Sports, Fellowship, and Education)'s all-convertible Circuit of Champions “All Stars” circuit late in 1955.[1] Most drivers did not make the transition to NASCAR's sanction. NASCAR ran the division ran from 1956 until 1959.[2] Some Convertibles raced against the Grand National (now Sprint Cup) hardtop cars in the same race.[3] The 1959 Daytona 500 had one qualifying race for Convertibles and one for the hardtop Grand National cars. 20 of the 59 cars in the Daytona 500 were convertibles.[4]

    A single Convertible race happened at Darlington Speedway in 1960, which was won by Joe Weatherly. The season was abandoned after that race. Darlington held a Convertible race on May 6, 1961 which was won by Fred Lorenzen, and another race on May 12, 1962 which was won by Nelson Stacy.
