He was Rapid Ray Hendricks at Strawberry Hill. And his car was called the Flying 11. I still remember the day Ray was battling Runt Harris and hung him on the back fence at the Richmond track
My dad was Clayton Mitchell and built both the 37 Chevrolet coupe and the 68 Camaro shown on the video. We won 43 races in one year in the late '60s with the coupe and set a world record at Dover with the camaro. In the mid-60's we won every race one year at South Boston, Va, even a "twin 50s" event when they inverted the field for the last 50. Thanks for the video...great memories...Mitch Mitchell
My dad work for Jack Tant in the 70s, he build Rays motors. They won more races at martinsville than anybody else and won twice alot too in the sameday.
When I was about 13 or 14, Ray told me that my dad was the wildest man who ever farted on a bulldozer seat. Ray was a comedian also, I still laugh at that.
Ray is one of the greatest drivers from my hometown would love to see denny hamlin one year at rir make the 11 the flying 11 to honor ray hendrick I would like to suggest that to him and Joe gibbs/Jd gibbs it would be a fitting truibute to Ray and the entire hendrick family there is not just ray this family has had three generations of stock car drivers this is what nascar used to be with the earnhardts the allison the pettys now it is just the earnhardts we need more familes back in nascar!!!!
Ray flat out kicked ass..Dutch Hoag was another..Jerry Cook #38 also in this video was very good as well...I know for a fact that most Modified drivers cringed when Ray showed up..He alway ran up front
This is one of Ray Hendrick's grandsons and I'm around the net as Flyin11...I just wanted to say thanks a lot for posting these!! It's great to see a lot of people still loved my grandad!!!

Ray Hendrick was one of the best that ever lived, right up there with guys like Richie Evans and Dick Trickle.
