The late Jerry Carrol of Crazy Eddie fame. He was part of the sponsorship deal. He did win one feature from what I recall. 
"shop around, get the best prices you can find, and Crazy Eddie will beat them!"

I worked for a VP of sales who would come up with some outrageous deals (margin, what margin?) prompting me to introduce my Ohio collegues to Crazy Eddie ads on YouTube. "We are not undersold, we will not be undersold, WE CAN NOT BE UNDERSOLD!!!!"

Bill Wishnick was very wealthy and owned Kendall Oil. He owned two Modern Stocks which were driven by himself and Lee Taylor. One of the cars was built by Troyer Engineering. The cars were taken care of by Big Joe (last name?)   Crazy Eddie sponsored the second car and was driven by Jerry Carrol who was the Carzy Eddie commercial character not the owner of Crazy Eddie's, that was Eddie Antar.  Bill Wishnick won two races, 8-22-1981 and 5-2-1982. Jerry won a feature on 8-20-1983. Lee Taylor won 18 times in the Modern Stocks, mostly in Wishnick's cars. He also  won the championship in 1981.

Bill was a super nice guy who loved racing cars and boats. He used to race in the Benihana Grand Prix each summer in Point Pleasant. He often brought a lot of the boat racers to the track. One night sitting with us in the grand stands was Rocky Aoki, owner of Benihana Restaurants. He was into everything including boat racing and record hot air balloning. Cool guy to meet as a 15 year old.  Last saw Bill in Daytona where he was sposoring Kenny Wallace, he had a tent there and invited 15 of us in to eat and enjoy, he loved talking Wall Stadium.

Aoki landed his balloon in my old boss's property. That was up in Asbury, nj. 
I was wondering after seeing the old photographer at Wall named Taylor, if Lee was related?

The "Lee Taylor" that Kevin mentions in the post above was the son of Charles Taylor (photographer).

I always liked Lee. He got a good ride in that 68. I remember him sitting at our kitchen table bs'n. My Father introduced me to Jerry Carol after the races ones one night. Big Joe, Lee and Jerry are all gone now.
