Oh… Man…

We're getting old if we remember that era.
The Cale And Donnie Allison fight after the Daytona 500 live on TV put NASCAR on the map.

And he was a true gentleman
Until you punted him. ;)Quote:

I had the worst food in my life when I stopped at a Yarlborough owned Hardees restaurant in the 80s.

No question though that he was a real "race driver".
