The whole thing with NASCAR saying you had to be able to walk into your dealer and buy the same parts that they were running was all fine and good except you could not buy the GM 427 parts they were running.
Then when the 426 HEMI started to win they banned that same as when the 427 SOHC Ford.

In 54, (sic) my dad and Tony Capanna took a Hemi to Indy and blew everyone’s doors off in practice. Then the race officials banned Hemi’s at Indy.
