History
Harold Fagan is the son of Mrs. Yvonne Fagan (who was the owner of the Northway Restaurant on Yonge Street north of Sheppard).[2] Fagan served his country in the Royal Canadian Navy and would go to his mother's restaurant while on shore leave.[3] His mother's 1957 Dodge Custom Royal would be Fagan's first ride; he would punch some holes in the muffler to make it sound better.[3] Pinecrest Speedway was Fagan's first ever experience racing stock cars at any level.[3]
He had one top-ten finish (eighth at the 1968 Fireball 300 race that took place at the Asheville-Weaverville Speedway in Weaverville, North Carolina).[4] Fagan also accomplished 2297 laps of racing experience; the equivalent of 2,018.8 miles or 3,248.9 kilometres.[1] His monetary achievement was earning $6,305 ($36,840.47 when adjusted for inflation) in total career earnings.[1] On average, Fagan started his races in 28th place and finished them in 23rd place.[1] Fagan's career stretched for four years and twenty races.[1] The majority of Fagan's races were driven in Ford vehicles; most notably in the #95 entry owned by Neil Castles while also racing in the #77 entry driven during his rookie season in 1967. Other manufacturers that Fagan raced for included Dodge (with the #06 entry)
