That was Ross Huggins first job around most race tracks. Then again most of you remember him as the Goodyear race tire dealer that supplied all the tires to teams until his death a few years ago.His logo is on the front fenders of the 57 Mercury that we show.

IN 1973 AND 74 AT THE END OF THE SEASON THE NASCAR OFFICALS ALL HAD CERTIFIED CHECKS AND WAS SENT TO A DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO THEIR HOME AND BOUGHT A SPECIFIC CAR AND YOU JUST WALKED UP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PICKED OUT THE PLYMOUTH VALIANT LIMITED AND FILLED OUT THE CHECK AND GOT YOUR PAPER WORK AND PAPER TAG AND DROVE TO DAYTONA. THEN NEXT WEEK YOU WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE CHEVROLET CAPRICE WAGON OR WHICH EVER CAR WAS ON YOUR LISTAND DROVE IT TO DAYTONA THAT SERVED AS THE BREAK IN PERIOD AND THIS WAY THE FACTORIES HAD NO IDEA WHICH CAR CAME FROM WHERE. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE EYES OF A SALESMAN WHEN YOU WALKED ON THE LOT AND SAID I WANT THIS CAR AND PAID FOR IT ON THE SPOT AND LEFT WITHOUT EVEN GIVING HIM A CHANCE TO GIVE YOU THE SALES PITCH.THOSE WERE THE ONLY TWO YEARS THAT WE DONE IT THAT WAY AND THE FUEL MILAGE ON SEVERAL OF THOSE CARS PLUMMETED. SO DAVE MIGHT HAVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WHEN HE SAID THE MANUFACTUERS WERE TINKERING WITH THE CARS BEFORE THEY WERE TESTED MUCH LIKE IT IS DONE TODAY. i ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS LOVED TO SPEND NOVEMBER AND HALF OF DECEMBER IN DAYTONA ON UNICALS EXPENSE IT WAS A BLAST. OH THE MEMORIES OF THE GOOD OLE DAYS.

Robbie since Tim is resigning all those positions that means he has more time to go to Columbia Speedway and cover up more of the gopher holes that digger has dug in the turns. LOL...

You may be surprised how close you may be in the future of Wascar except for the part about DW he is so deep in NASCARS pocket it will take at least another ten years to get him out or until they figure out that he can't sell tickets to the HOF. Great job GW.

A simple answer to that BB is 0 on crewman and drivers. And the answer to Jeff is both. Had he not been as tough as he was when his health issues started he would be much worse off today. Those early days I think helped him survive the last few years. Of course having his nurse from Hell also played a big role ..
