From Roanoke, Virginia television station WSLS' digitized 16mm sports film collection stored at the University of Virginia Library comes a practice interview with Cale Yarborough - "No-Neck" as DW nicknamed him. The site is Martinsville Speedway in April 1968 and the Wood Brothers "60 Minute Cleaners" Merc is behind Cale. The old Martinsville pagoda also still stands... I sure "Mouth of the South" Martinsville P.A. announcer, Lewis Compton was in his accustomed place there.
