Top Photo: Dexter was an LV Icon, and always had immaculate equipment. His 44’s were well known throughout the Northeast, and later was an impeccable craftsman of Dirt Modified Chassis.
Dexter came out of turn 4 in the lead at Lebanon 7 times in his career, from his first win in 1967 to his final win in late 1972. He made many more trips into victory lane as a car builder into the 80’s & 90’s with his chassis designs until his untimely death in the early 90’s.
And who could ever forget his end over end flip at Syracuse in 1976, after He built the car He was driving, and was going to sell to Canadian Ovide Dorian?

Quite possibly this isn’t the same #44, but one has to wonder if this
is the same car/year that Dexter built a machine for Canadian Star Ovide
Dorian. Deal was, from what I
understand, that after Syracuse, Ovide was going to take ownership of
it, but Dexter had something go wrong
with her entering turn 3, and the end result was Dexter executing a few endo’s
in Dorian’s new car.
