1949 NASCAR National Modified Champion Talladega-Texaco Walk of Fame (2004) Truman Fontell "Fonty" Flock (March 21, 1921 – July 15, 1972) was an American stock car racer.
Like many early NASCAR drivers, Flock's career began by delivering illegal moonshine.
"It was fun, and besides we could send to California to get special parts to modify our cars, and the sheriff couldn't afford to do that.
He qualified in the pole position for the July 27, 1941, race at the Daytona Beach Road Course beside Roy Hall.
He was rushed by ambulance to the hospital, having suffered a crushed chest, broken pelvis, head and back injuries, and severe shock.
Flock was in the United States Army Air Corps for four years during World War II.
He raced in six of eight Strictly Stock (later Grand National Series) events and finished fifth in the points.
He won the 100-mile Grand National Stock Car race at Bainbridge Speedway, Solon, Ohio, on July 9, 1951.
He was leading by more than a minute at the 1953 Daytona Beach Road Course race but ran out of gas taking the white flag at the start of the final lap.
Herb Thomas had been gravely injured in a 1956 race held at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in Shelby, North Carolina, so he asked Flock to drive the car in the 1957 Southern 500.
