Notes: Kesler clocked the second-fastest speed of the drag race meet sponsored and conducted by the ATAA during Speed Week at Daytona Beach. The drag races were held on the sand. He won the Holley Carburetor trophy for the fastest speed in the coupe-sedan class, clocking 109.091 mph. He used a 1949 Olds V8 in his '39 Crosley. He was partial to Crosleys and put his Olds motor into a 1946 Crosley in the summer with intentions of racing it at the NHRA national championships in Kansas City, Missouri.
