Default NASCAR Sanctioned Drag Race Class Winner TROPHY

...
... In 1961, a friend of mine, drove a black and white Chevrolet with OverDrive from Richmond, Virginia to DAYTONA, Florida where they had Drag Races on the back stretch of the DAYTONA Speedway and he Won his class Every night. They gave him this trophy and he drove the car back to Richmond, Virginia.
... Over the years the car on the top of the trophy got damaged and he put this later year car on it ( which is NOT CORRECT).
... I am trying to find the correct car for the top of the trophy and was wondering if anyone would have a photo of a similar trophy so I know what to look for to replace the incorrect top piece.
...
He thinks that it is a silver front engine dragster.
...
... Does anyone have a photo of a similar trophy ?
...
... He is 89 years old .
... His name is James A. Keeton.
... They called him "Cheatin Keeton" .
Thank you in advance.
