During a modified race, legendary stock car independent driver Soapy Castles was leading a race. Crowd favorite Curtis Turner was a lap down and trying to make up that lap. Castles didn't want Turner back on the lead lap, because Curtis would restart right on his rear bumper after the next caution, and anyone who ever raced against Curtis knew you didn't want a rearview mirror full of Turner if you were between him and the checkers. The flagman kept waving the "Move Over" flag at Castles, who found an unusual way to get that fellow to reconsider. He pulled a handgun, and shot the flag out of the starter's hand.
