1966. Ronald Reagan was elected Governor of California. Viet Nam was going full bore. The "hippie" culture in San Francisco was alive and well.
And James Hylton was the 1966 Rookie of the Year for NASCAR. Now the Rookie of the Year is attempting a comeback of epic proportions, bringing a car to preseason testing Monday as he chases his long-shot dream of qualifying for next month's Daytona 500.
"I am doing this for seniors to show that at 70 years old, you don't have to go hunting for an old-folks home. You can go race for a little bit," Hylton said. "A lot of the old drivers want to come out here and hang out in the pits and see if I can do it."
