In the Winston a long time ago
The car Gordon drove nicknamed T rex (is that name right)
In what ways was it tricked up
And we’re they really told to not bring it back to the track

Yep, NASCAR did in fact tell HMS never ever bring that chassis back to the track.

The people that know have not given the details other then some generic NASCAR didnt like it explanation, but I believe it was mentioned that part of it was how the suspension mounts on the chassis were done , I , for one would love to know what all they did , very fascinated by it.

Did Jeff Gordon have special tires in 1998 like Jack Roush accused the 24 team of having?

Jeff's tires were coated and infused with Pepsi pre race in 98' for added grip, if that counts.

This was well before Jurassic Park's release, nascar frowned upon dinosaurs at the time, and were afraid T-Rex would damage the track. He was sent packing for an oversized lower left claw mount and an extended rear deck tail.

How has Samantha Busch's fashion evolved on race day over the past decade?

Who will she be wearing for the Darlington "Throwback" Race? Will it be an updated vintage style?

The colorful eBay commercials of 2016 really catapulted Samantha's fashion sense to the upper echelon, such catchy music tunes. She will be tinkering with a new air duct yoga pants package at Darlington due to the heat.
