great post. Thank you. Junior Johnson said he never won a race with a legal car. DW tells some neat cheating stories on Dale Jr. Download.mBe really neat if someone would write a book about what these guys did to get competitive . |

NASCAR has changed but local short track stock car racing hasn't just one of the thosands of reasons that it's failing. I still go and I still love to watch live stock car racing but I know that the winner many times is not the winner because there's cheating involved and probably everybody else is cheating also. At Bridgeport I believe they have two tech guys one owns a top crate car and the other is involved with a top modified. How does a good promoter even allow that to happen. In the 60's my father watched professional wrestling everybody knew that it was fake and I would tell him that and he would continue to wach it. I guess I'm no different I continue to watch short track stock car racing. |

getting old and have trouble remembering dates. I think it was either the late 1980’s or early 1990’s. Outlaw show at the Grove. Steve Smith, the father, came in second in the feature. Ted Johnson the owner of the world of Outlaws wanted to pump Smith’s motor for cubic inChe’s. Grove management said no well pump the engines of the top five. Johnson backed off. What does that tell you? Maybe Kinser, Swindell and the gang may have had big motors? Just saying. |

More than once I've heard from people who would know these things that a 360 sprint car series (not the URC) knowingly let a driver run a 410 motor late in the year to improve his/her chances to win the series championship. And that's all I'll say about that 😉 |

Junior Johnson's "Banana" +0/-0

Speking of cheating, I had a book about the 60s and 70s of Nascar (can't remember the title). My favorite chapter was on Jr. Johnson's Ford Galaxy # 26 painted yellow in the, I believe, late 70s. The car was dominating the 1 /1/2 and larger tracks. Nascar suspected something was not legal with the car but they couldn't put their finger on it. Junior was finally "busted" when Nascar determined that the car's trunk lid was slightly bowed up giving the car added rear downforce. Keep in mind that they didn't run much a spoiler back then. Junior said that he named the car the "Banana" given its slightly curved shape. Scott Ely |
