This Weekend's Question: Drivers Who Were Good Mechanics/Fabricators  

Something that drew me to the sport when I was younger as I attended short track racing almost every week during racing season from the mid/late 60's and beyond, was not just the courage and skill displayed by those behind the wheel, but was also knowing that most of those same guys that were "piloting" those creations were also the guy that built those creations... including fabricating/modifying parts and pieces as needed.   Not only that, but may were also their own crew chief when it came to making it run right on race night, and who also was the one that had to fix it after a crash.

It seemed there was a time when the majority of the pits was filled with guys just like that.  If you wanted to race, especially years ago, you probably had to have pretty good mechanical/fabrication skills.  (If not...you needed a lot of friends or a lot of $$$'s!)

So... this weekend's questions is, What drivers do you think of who were not only known as a driver, but also had a lot of mechanical ability and fabrication skills?

Driver, Mechanic, Fabricator.  What driver(s) do you remember as checking all of those boxes?
