Nazaruk finished 4th in 1950 AAA Eastern sprint car standings. He won races that year at Williams Grove, Harrington, Bedford, and Rutland. There would have been severe sanctions from the AAA had he ran the Freeport races. Also, TV was in it's infancy and programming of that sort didn't appear until about 1949. I might be wrong but the combination of these two facts narrows it down considerably, IMO.
