Don't know if Chase's hat has been "blocked" - but, he appears to be a chip off the ole block.

Only 3 years old, but here's a terrific shot of the King & his hat in freezing weather at a private aviation facility in Quincy, Illinois in January 2011 as photographed by Phil Carlson for the Quincy Herald-Whig:

The black hat looked pretty good on H.B. Bailey, both a Texan and a maverick through and through.

I'm with you all the way on this one, Andy.
I know why we had Dale Earnhardt wear the hat in the 80s - we were promoting Wrangler western wear. And, Eddie Gossage is determined at Texas to hand out pistols, rifles and ten gallon hats at every race. Jeff Hammond has long been into that deal and there is a little rodeo culture up above the Mooresville area.
Personally, I hate those stupid hats. They once told me I couldn't enter a PRCA rodeo arena in Wichita, Kansas because I wasn't wearing a ten gallon hat. I told 'em it was fine with me. I didn't own a cowboy hat, I hated them and I hated rodeo and all of its nasty smells. I was only working the event because I had to. Our money was much better spent on stock cars than the bulls where the cowboys slept all day and didn't understand personal appearances.

I didn't know this previously, but Sonny Easley was born in Danville, Virginia - 18 years after Wendell Scott. Sonny was raised in the community of Dry Fork, Virginia - near White Oak Mountain.
If that sounds familiar, it's because that's the same mountain in the song "Wreck of the Old 97."
Well they gave him his orders in Monroe Virginia
Sayin' Steve you're way behind time
This is not 38, this is ole' 97
You must put her into Spencer on time
So he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman
To shovel on a little more the coal
And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
You can watch ole' 97 roll
It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville
It's a line on a three mile grade
It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes
You can see what a jump he made

Man, 5th place finisher Dave Darland has been around a long time. The first time we ran the USAC Silver Crown cars at Richmond - TWENTY YEARS AGO - Dave posted a 4th place finish.
Dave was the 1997 USAC Silver Crown Champion, 1999 USAC National Sprint Car Champion, and 2001 and 2002 USAC National Midget Champion, making him one of only five drivers to claim all three USAC National Championships.
Dave Darland's finish in the Silver Crown race at Richmond 20 seasons ago was one position ahead of Tony (the pony) Stewart.
