I saw him race at the Richmond Raceway many times back in the seventies. A lot of us as teenages would cram into a car and go. Gee, I feel so ancient now!!

I remember going to his auction barn when I was little. I hated all of the smoke, but I loved running around there. That really brings back some memories.

Please wait...
Lord have mercy! I haven't thought of Butterball in years. I don't know if I ever got to see him race, but I do remember momma and daddy talking about him and great a guy he was. Is he still around?

I'm Paul's second cousin (1 year older than P.V.). I've tracked down one color photo of Paul in a racing magazine thanks to a friend's help, but I'm still looking for more.
