One of the best racing jokes ever told:
Q: Why did McDonald's drop its sponsorship of Bill Elliott?
A: They weren't willing to support two red headed clowns!
Heyyyy ohhhh, thanks everyone. I'll be here all week. Smoke free show on Thursday. Be sure to tip your waitresses.

Great story PTK. Interesting too you had a brother named Ricky. One of my favorite Tim WIlson bits/songs is Ricky Tidwell's Mama - about how a high school coach wanted HER for the football team vs. Ricky Tidwell.

I have them too. Just not sure others are as familiar with them. I shared the video of Tim's song "Brother In Law" here just a few weeks ago.

Definitely a big loss. Hits close to home as Tim was only 52. A really funny guy with several routines and songs - several about NASCAR and its personalities. Saw him perform at Zanie's comedy club about a decade ago and laughed from start to finish.
If you haven't heard OF Tim Wilson, perhaps you've heard the comedy song BY him. Amongst the NASCAR bunch, he was probably best known for She named me Dale Darrell Waltrip Richard Petty Rusty Awesome Bill Gordon Irvan Earnhardt Smith Johnson Junior...

Of the 110 inch wheelbase era, my two favorite Petty schemes were Richard's 1984 200th win Curb Pontiac...
...and Kyle's 1982 Petty Enterprises look. - Jeff Droke
Kyle had colors opposite of Richard - but I liked the look of the 42 better.
Richard had a fast car to start Speedweeks. But the wreck in the 500, the bum ankle, the flat funding from STP that strained full financing for 2 teams, etc. really was the beginning of the end for Petty Enterprises in my opinion. The team did recover to win a couple of times in 1983 - including the infamous fall Charlotte race. But I view 1982 as the year in which the lights were being slowly but surely turned off.
Richard tangled with Elliott Forbes Robinson in the Jolly Rancher 96 car fielded by RR's Will Cronkrite. - Keith Koether

That blue and yellow Buick alongside Ogden at Michigan 1981 was owned by Henley Gray and driven by Cecil Gordon. I suspect that's the same blue and yellow Buick fielded and driven by Billie Harvey during 1982 Speedweeks.
