NASCAR died when the made the rule:

You cannot pit on the first lap of a caution flag UNLESS you are on the lead lap.

I stopped following it after that rule was implemented There was no point in trying after that...

A great driver and guy from NASCAR’s halcyon years...
Very few of the today’s NOOSECAR drivers would have lasted very long in those days... IMHO...

In auto racing, life is a success when you’ve lived a natural life.

Bingo! They just use the same go cart with different shells now.

I met him once the late 80’s. I was a Sat night dirt track racer and ask for advise. He told me to use earplugs.

Seems like the color is the only possible way to tell them apart. Like a slot car track.

That is 100% awesome.

I miss destruction derbies.

Did “Cash for Clunkers” do them in?

I haven’t heard of a demolition derby in a coons age.
I just did a quick search and found out that there are two demolition derby tracks within an hours drive of me. There used to be one in every other little town.
If you do an internet search for your area search for demolition derby. A search for destruction derby just gives you information about a video game.
