Remember Bobby Allison Pitching Roast Beef Sandwiches?

This 1984 Hardee's commercial for roast beef features the "It's All Here" you used to see on the back of Cale's Hardee's car:

I forgot Matt Kenseth had an Arby's Busch Car a few years back:

Don't remember the Frog Legs either place. I definitely remember Hardee's adding the roast beef, though not as good as Arby's in my opinion. I grew up in Richmond, Dennis (graduated from Thomas Jefferson HS in 1966), and remember a Holly Farms Chicken place near Libbie Avenue on Broad Street in the west end. We liked their seasoned potato wedges. Golden Skillet had great fried chicken, I thought. It was pretty much a local Richmond area deal, owned by Thalhimer's Department Stores.

Don't apologize, I needed a memory jog, too. Guess Bobby and Davey are in pretty select company of fathers and sons who won for the same car owner.

PK,

Ranier Racing with Bobby Allison picked up Hardee's for their #28 in May 1981, while Cale was in the #27 Valvoline car of MC Anderson. The photo below shows the two of them in the 1981 Firecracker 400 at Daytona:

Pocono Raceway owner Doc Mattioli retires

August 05, 2011 LONG POND (AP) - Pocono Raceway owner Joseph Mattioli has resigned and turned over all his duties to his grandchildren. Track president Brandon Igdalsky is the new CEO to go along with his title as track president. The 87-year-old Mattioli fought back tears Friday as he talked about his decision to step down. Mattioli was in a wheelchair and held his wife's hand. Mattioli was a former dentist and known around the sport as "Doc."says "it's about time that I got the hell out of here." Pocono Raceway holds two Sprint Cup races each season on its 2 -mile triangle track. Igdalsky had taken a bigger role as his grandfather scaled back his role.

Interesting observation about the old Winston signage. I missed that.

I had a truck driver in the 70s call me from Stantonsburg, NC and tell me he had "knocked over" the bank. He sure did. He tried to drive his truck under the drive thru canopy and tore it down.
