1955 was a pivotal year for the NASCAR Grand Nationals. The Big Three automakers pulled out all the stops to design more powerful cars, and used NASCAR Grand National races as a backdrop for their advertising. For 1955, the battle was won by Tim Flock, who drove the muscular Chrysler 300 to a championship season. You'll find the results of all 37 races in the 1955 NASCAR Grand National season in the chart below.
