Drivers have always been full of pranks they pull on each other However, some pranks were a bit more frightening than missing parts and rotten fish as rusty and dale sr.played on each other.While Cale Yarboroughs car sat on pit road prior to a race Tiny Lund put a rubber rattlesnake in the cockpit. Thinking the snake was real Yarborough reacted as you would expect. Lund sat strapped in his car laughing as he watched Cale panic over the fake reptile. Not one to take that kind of thing lying down Yarborough exacted his revenge the following week. In addition to his other talents Yarborough was also accomplished at wrangling rattlesnakes, he found a prize specimen and de-fanged it. Tiny Lund was not tiny; he was 65" and barely fit through the cars window opening. It took several people several minutes to secure his safety harness. After Lund was strapped in tight, Cale threw the live snake into the car. When the frightened creature landed in his lap with its rattle going full out, Tiny came out of his car like it was on fire. The first thing he saw when he was safe was Cale Yarborough laughing hysterically. The second thing he saw was a ball peen hammer. Grabbing the hammer Lund chased Yarborough through the garage. By the time bystanders had restrained Lund and Cale had escaped with his life it was time to go racing. The two returned to their cars and by the time the checkers fell both men were laughing about the prank ------------------memories
