I loved NASCAR back in the 60's. Then Fireball,Joe Weatherly got killed,Flonty Flock was injured so bad he had to quit. Then Curtis Turner was killed and I didn't want to hear anything about NASCAR. But ever now and then, I would hear about something Smokey Yumick had done and I would get back interested until Big Bill France would outlaw whatever Smokey had come up with and would'nt let him run it. Smokey actually came up with a usable fuel cell in 1964 and Big Bill disallowed it. Bye,bye Fireball. I have read a couple of books written by Smokey. It appears that he and Big Bill were serious enemies. Don't even watch NASCAR anymore. The pretty boys and the stupid Bush brothers just don't interest me. I will admit that Kyle can drive a race car, but I would love to see him and Tiny Lund locked in a room for about 15 minutes if Tiny were still alive.
