Help ID this car from 1950 time frame...

I have a friend who says the gentleman leaning on the car with his arms folded is an old family member. He believes this was taken around 1949 at Powell, Ohio speedway. I think the front fender of that car looks simular to the 1950 Studebaker 'Champion' that I have in the other photo. The fenders creases and the airvent panel look the same, but the car over all doesn't look long enough. Does anyone have an idea what the car is, or have info on anything else in the picture, it would be greatly appriciated.
