It was very exciting to watch him, my first car race I’ve ever watched. The fight afterwards cemented him as my favorite driver until he retired. Last edited by Alaskajim; 12/31/23.

Donnie Allison totally cut him off and caused that wreck. Supposedly when asked later, Yarborough said it was a fair fight, there were two Allison brothers and he had two fists. 😄 RIP

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile. Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe) Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

I don't recall which race it was but I think it was Cale Y. who got airborne and sailed over the wall and the chain link barrier. It seems like it was coming out of turn four---wherever they were racing, but that was such a long time ago. I just remember wondering how far it was to the ground on the other side of the chain link. It musta been one helluva stop when he hit. Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
