Grand National Owner Statistics - Louis Clements
*One week before the 1964 Daytona race, representatives from Chevrolet walked into Rex White’s East Point, Georgia garage and announced that Chevrolet was out of racing and that the racing team was dissolved. White managed to make arrangements to drive a Mercury for Louis Clements and Bud Moore in 6 events in 1964, but struggled to make the Mercury perform and struggled adapting to the leaf spring setup in the car. Mercury reduced its' support of Bud Moore’s operation, so Moore was forced to drop the second team he was operating for White. White recorded 2 top-5’s and 3 top-10’s in the 6 runs. He returned home, accepted a job with a Chrysler dealer in Forest Park, Georgia and began selling cars. Another Rex White Story:

The
title of Rex White's memoir, Gold Thunder, comes from the paint job on his
gold and white # 4 Chevrolet. "We wanted a nice shiny gold, so my mechanic,
Louie Clements, made a mixture of clear enamel and gold dust. That
car was magic. My 1962 Atlanta Motor Speedway win was the only super
speedway win by a driver with a 409 engine."
