Yep, we can always count on the great data-base of Racing-Reference.info for the beginning of discussions. Let's see if we can find more pics and stories to put some life in those stats.
There is a whole (and great) discussion about this race, the engines...etc. that created excitement at the time.

The next car to go on tour with Jimmy Johnson is the #13 1963 Chevy replica of the car driven by Johnny Rutherford for Smokey Yunick. When this replica first appeared on the scene, some even commented that Rutherford's name had been added in error...not so.
This is a rather significant piece of history that we are pleased to "revive". I have all the research, but thought I would open this up the group for discussion. Who has specific memories of the Rutherford-Yunick pairing...when...where...results?
I do not know who to credit with the enclosed pics. If anyone knows, please add.
That is perhaps the highest compliment you could be paid by the goat, Bill. We all know goats will eat most anything...had he not enjoyed your win would have been a disappointment.
Too bad you couldn't make a fan of the dog while you were there....guess he was just not a race fan.
How many people do you know who have a goat named after them? Meet Bronco Billy!
I can't believe this guy is that far behind the two of you!! http://stockcar.racersreunion.com/group/jeffgilderfans
Goober has been a member for a long time. Don't see much of him any more. But he has been on Shag City USA making requests on Big D's All Request Beach Break for the past two weeks. Says he is making them for Floyd...who apparently is a huge beach music lover.
Wish I had the money to buy everything in it!
A modern day rendition of that movie with that title would have a much more "senior" appearance.
