Arden Mounts

Enoch Arden Mounts (July 9, 1917 – March 4, 2003) was an American NASCAR Grand National Series driver from Gilbert, Mingo County, West Virginia. His primary vehicle was the #18 self-owned Pontiac machine; although he would occasionally drive a Hudson vehicle on the race track.

Career Mounts raced in the NASCAR Grand National Series from 1953 to 1956. Like J.D. McDuffie, Alan Kulwicki, and Joe Nemechek, Mounts was an "independent" race car driver who would never receive manufacturer's support or the support of blockbuster sponsors.

Mounts would earn six finishes in the top-ten from the 37 races that he would compete in NASCAR. While Bill Champion managed to avoid Duckworth by swerving past the vehicle rapidly, Mounts managed to see the stalled vehicle too late and crashed into him in a very hard manner.

Death

Mounts would die while being a patient at St. Mary's Hospital, a medical center in Huntington, West Virginia.
