On October 28, 1956, Frank made his debut in the NASCAR Grand National Division in the Old Dominion 400 at Martinsville, Virginia driving Lonnie Fish’s No. 76 Chevrolet finishing 38th after losing oil pressure on lap 77.

Over the next few years Frank had average runs in both the Grand National and the Convertible series. The high point of Frank's career occurred in 1962 when he qualified 10th for the Southern 500. He led 85 laps and lapped the entire field finishing the race with two blown tires. After a scoring issue, Junior Johnson was declared the winner.
