I know The Legend will have a special place in his heart for Lennie Pond for beating Jaws to the 1973 (?) Rookie of the Year award. 
Jaws mouthed off to a NASCAR official, Len Kuchler and learnt the hard way that you don't 'diss' NASCAR and come off the winner.
One of those really long articles that you wish was longer still.
I understand Robert quit racing to focus on his education. Wonder if he ever plans to be back?
It was a great event. I have to give kudos to NASCAR for being open to doing it. They are obviously listening to the traditional fans with all the recent undoings of unpopular decisions from the past decade. Unfortunately, some decisions like the oversaturation of the schedule with big, boring aero tracks will be harder to undo but I hope they keep listening to the fans and Carl Edwards.
And a nice rendition of the Wabash Cannonball too!
I found I had a photo of what you're talking about. This is from Christmas 2011. Click on the image for a larger resolution.
That old Glen layout (before the boot section was added) was pretty similar to the current Cup layout up to the carousel but after that you had a couple of fast bends leading into the final corner that is today's first corner.
Here's an onboard lap driven in the excellent 1967 F1 simulator Grand Prix Legends.
Thanks for sharing your memories of Billy Wade with us, Tim.
I didn't know about this track either. Can certainly imagine the size of dust clouds kicked up at such an unconventionally big dirt track.
Once again, amazed at the amount of post-article information and pictures. :D
