The photo for this ad was taken in New York City on a Thursday morning in December 1983, the day before the 1983 NASCAR Winston Cup Awards Banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Dale was mad that Wrangler would sponsor two cars in 1984 after he left Bud Moore to rejoin Richard Childress. Wrangler honored the final year of a three year deal to sponsor Bud's cars. When I picked up Dale at Laguardia Airport, he had shaved his mustache thinking we wouldn't do the ad shoot. The shirt Ricky is wearing in the photo is much too large for him and has 3 clothespins on the back gathering it up.

I've heard they didn't like each other.
