Looks like he was in a collision, I see a hole in the side from the ****pit aft... probably getting ready to bail out!

Good eye I never noticed that.

Neither did I.

BIG hole.

Miss Jr racing, there was nothing cooler imo than being a Jr fan in the 2000-06 range. Wish he had won a Cup in that time. That 8 was dynamic and fit him so well, such a shame he couldnt keep it his whole career.

The 1990-91 Snickers scheme is one of my favorites.

Miles The Mouse Melius. He used to come north a couple times a year and kick our assses. It was an event we waited for.

‘62 Impala quarters I’m thinking.

Nice but I like the Sunliner more.
