The Flock family entered the world of stock-car racing on September 1939, when Bob and Fonty Flock entered their Ford Coupes In a 100-mile race at Atlanta's Lakewood Speedway. Bob, Fonty and Carl Flock were brothers. Bob and Fonty became car-racing fanatics and soon were regulars on the growing stock-car circuit, traveling to races throughout the South prior to World War II. Bob and Fonty entered into military service when World War II broke out.
After the war ended Bob and Fonty went back into the stock-car circuit. Often billed as the "Mad Flocks," "The Flying Flocks," or the "Fabulous Flocks," Bob and Fonty found stock-car-racing fame in the late 1940s in Bob France's National Championship Stock Car Circuit in Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, and Virginia, at northeastern fairgrounds, and also north to Indiana. When France's circuit evolved into NASCAR, the Flocks along with their brother, Tim, raced cars for NASCAR. During its 50th anniversary, NASCAR named Tim one of its 50 greatest drivers. He died of cancer one month later. In 2014, Tim Flock was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
