| Now that we have
covered the history of Dodge and covered the top winners in the
Grand Nationals I thought I would throw some more stats your way.
Today's article, we shall talk about some of the victories
recorded by the different manufactures. For instance in 1965
Ford won forty-eight of the fifty-five races that year. The
other seven wins went to Plymouth (4), Dodge (2), and Mercury (1).
In 1952 Hudson racked up twenty-seven of the thirty-four races
that year with Oldsmobile and Plymouth getting three each and
Chrysler one.
In
1967 Plymouth won thirty-one of the forty-eight races with Ford
getting ten, Dodge (4), and Chevrolet (3). In 1961 Ford got
thirty wins out of sixty-one races. Dodge followed with
(13), Plymouth (12), Mercury (5), and Chevrolet (1). Pontiac
made the thirty win season in 1961 as they won thirty of the
fifty-two races that year.
The following information is based on my records and hopefully
accurate math. I have compiled a list of the total wins by
each manufacturer. If you want to see a breakdown of each
