For The Legend & TMC Chase - The King With His Plymouth at Martinsville 1968

From Roanoke, Virginia's WSLS Television's 16mm sports film digitized archive at the University of Virginia Library comes an interview for The Legend and TMC-Chase.

Standing next to a solid Petty Blue Plymouth during practice for the April 1968 Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville, The King says it hasn't been a very good year... only 4 wins through April!

Note the cool Petty Engineering 1967 NASCAR Grand National Champion jacket worn by Richard in the clip at the link below. Sports anchor copy follows link:

Really tough year so far eh? Only 4 wins thru April!!! lol...great stuff Dave.

Thanks, Dave. Great interview and a great shot of that Plymouth. AND, everyone can confirm I WAS wearing the cowboy hat and boots BEFORE the King.

Now, we finally believe you, Tim!

DAVE!!!!!!!! I am totally devastated. You have hurt me to the very being of my soul. You are just "now" believing me? I am truly hurt deeply!

Since Coastal jack Walker hasn't chimed in on this post, I'll just have to send The Legend a little Virginia Beach Beach Music.... Bill Deal & The Rhondels singing Tim's Theme Song for today! "I've Been Hurt!"

Thanks, Dave. I feel a little better now.

Well Dave - Since you left the door open. Here is the original version of "I've Been Hurt" by The Tams from 1965.

The door is always open at RR... thanks, Jack. Hope our Legend has recovered from his "hurt" - lol!

Of course, it's hard to find fault with our Legend for reliving the glory days when he was young & foolish!

While we're at it, how about if we send a little Tams tune out for all those former fans of Clint Bowyer and MWR to let them know how the race fans feel about them?

How about the Elvis Pressley rendition of "I Did It My Way". Folks at church say that song was written for me!

I think you've nailed the perfect fit!
