I've heard those rumors, too! :)
Robert Mitchum - Ballad of Thunder Road.....
"...about the mountain boy that ran illegal alcohol...
His Daddy made the whiskey......
Son, he drove the load.......
When his engine roared they called the highway, Thunder Road."
For some reason, I've always thought of Junior Johnson as the Son, in that tune. Just me.
Oh, yes. Nascar has a skeleton or two in the closet!
And that makes it all the better. At least it did, until the advent of the "Young Guns".
Blah.
Forgive me for rambling on. I like Nascar. In fact, starting the 11th of March, I, my 10 yr old son, and two very close friends from the hometown - are going to live - eat - breath Nascar for 3 glorious days.
Did I mention that I like Nascar?
Come on Mark Martin - Dale Jarrett - Sterlin Marlin - Rusty Wallace. The "veterans"!!
