The 1956-56 was a Grand National (now Sprint Cup) event held at Wilson Speedway on November 18, 1956. It was a good and bad day for the Carl Kiekhaefer-owned teams. It was the season finale. Buck Baker, already declared the champion of the year, won his 14th race of the year by holding off Joe Weatherly. Kiekhaefer, however, struck by recent tradegy with his drivers, quit the business following the race. It was his 52nd win as a car owner. Stats
