This week, we take a look at a true racing original over at Georgia Racing History.com.
Hal Needham came from modest beginnings growing up in Arkansas, but a decision to move to California
to work as a treetopper opened the opportunity for him to become one of the greatest stuntmen in motion picture history. From that, Needham moved on to become a movie director and later, a dedicated NASCAR Winston Cup car owner. Paired with driver Harry Gant, "Burt & Hal's Skoal Bandit" became one of the most popular teams on the circuit. With Hal's autobiography, "Stuntman!" on the shelves, we take a look at this true NASCAR original this week over at Georgia Racing History.com.
