Wow! This one begs for a Legendtorial. May yet get to do that one but I'll have to cool down a little bit. I personally think there are few things more disgusting than someone like this guy who has NO clue about the subject he seeks to discuss. He goes off on some rant with no substance and proves he is nothing more than the typical book-educated, common sense deficient idot. There is just something inside me that makes it impossible for me to think about living in a city like New York with the likes of people who dwell there. People who watch and listen as a women is being raped and killed and do nothing. We rednecks don't behave like that. Ok, that'sw enough for tonight. I don't want to get on the rant now.
Do modern day drivers Race with Old school Mentality???

I regret to announce that D.W.will not be able to come for Christmas Dinner. He called to say FOX called about the Daytona 500 week and it is necessary for him to be there NOW to get enough make-up to be presentable for television in February.

In the true spirit of Christmas, and being the true Legend I am, I have invited D.W. to my home to celebrate the wonderful holiday. We are having baked gopher, roasted potatoes, rice, carrots, and red velvet cake for dessert. The fact that I had to drive verifies the fact that D.W. still suffers from the hallucinations that have him believe NASCAR history began in 1980, and that his announcing duties on tv qualify as "talent". I further understand that Santa is still ticked about last year when D.W. yelled at the raindeer up his chimney. He yelled "boogity, boogity, boogity" and the raindeer took off like a rocket. Took the elves two hours to get them under control. So, D. W. is getting nothing for Christmas this year so I am trying to be kind.

Richard Petty article from 1969 about switch to Ford
Stock Car Racing History
I was not necessarily bound to the car make because when I saw Richard's first race he was driving an Oldsmobile. But after he was in Plymouths from 1959 on, he had us convinced that nothing was better than a Plymouth. He is the one who established that in me and many others. And, as I said, I absolutely hated a Ford for reasons I'll go into in a blog post someday.
Richard Petty article from 1969 about switch to Ford
Stock Car Racing History
Things in 1969 were so much different,but I remember that switch to Ford, announced in November, 1968, was devastating to me and all my Mopar friends. We could not believe Richard would do that to us and two of us had purchased new 1969 Plymouth Road Runners, mine a 426 Hemi, prior to his announcement. Back in that day, I absolutely hated, and I mean HATED Fords. These days it doesn't matter much because all the cars look exactly the same and Richard is back with Ford. My entire outlook on the NASCAR scene is totally different than it was in those days. Richard seems to have a good memory of those old days so I should ask him, sometime, about the event AFTER the Columbia Speedway race in August, when he and I had our little "race" down I-26 and I-20 with me in my Road Runner and him in Torino. lol, that was fun but I finally had to back off and let him win because I was concerned about interference from The South Carolina Highway Patrol Racing Team.

Join me tonight on the show Jim. I'm going to mention that. I've already written the Legendtorial which includes the "date that will live in infamy".
