Frank Sessoms

#12

Frank is from  Darlington SC. Florence Motor Speedway is his home track. He races all over. Frank began racing in 1956 in an Amateur car at Sumter Speedway.

Frank was interested in any thing with a engine. He went to a modified race at Columbia when he was in high school, and decided to race. He got his first win in a hobby car at the old Darlington dirt track.

Franks racing career has taken him every where in racing. It has not mattered what level he has been a success. In 1969 he won the Richmond 300.   He was 19th in the first Winston cup race at Talladega. He was 4th in the Paul Revere  250 at Daytona in 1969. He won the Turkey 250 at Fayetteville NC. He was second to Ken Rush in the Grand Touring Division season championship. Frank has raced in 6 decades.

The thrill of racing  for Frank is the competition and always being competitive. Frank has raced against 3 generations of Earnhardts and beat them all.

When asked his greatest racing thrill, he said he did not know if it was the inaugural Talladega race or the Richmond win. But when ask what his greatest racing moment was, he did not hesitate. "Winning the feature last week!"
