During the 1952 NASCAR Grand National season, Hudson dominated among carmakers, winning 27 of the 34 NASCAR Grand National races. No other make won more than three times. Equally dominant was Tim Flock, the year's big winning driver. You can find the results for all 34 of the races in the 1952 NASCAR Grand National season in the chart below.
![]() While the late-model NASCAR Grand Nationals were clearly the featured attraction in 1952, the older model Modifieds provided plenty of excitement, as seen here on Daytona Beach. See more pictures of NASCAR. |
