Few remember that Tony drove the Challenger at Riverside Oct 4, 1970 because most attention was on the retiring Dan Gurney. The home track crowd cheered the beloved Gurney every lap of the final race of his career.
Tony was selected to fill in for Ronnie Bucknum who normally drove the second Challenger, but had another commitment in an Indy car.
The race ended poorly for the Challenger team as both cars failed to finish. Posey's engine blew after 20 laps, and Tony's let go on lap 65.
