His car an set up shocked francecar and other southern racers at the time. He was very outspoken about driver / fan / car safety , tires and fires that had claimed many a driver , that alone rubbed the powers the wrong way. He cut his teeth on the eastern seaboard tracks , plus his family run Chemung Speedway. Plus he was the first Yankee with a shot a doing well , in a good old boy sport. Some say he was a real prick to deal with, Junior Johnson for one. I've been listening to some Dale Jr. Podcasts and learning about the feud between Dale Sr. and Bodine and I didn't know that the rental car scene/dinner in Days of Thunder with Cole and Rowdy was a true story that happened with Sr. , Bodine, Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress and Bill France Jr. Edited April 11, 2019 by Jimmy Snacks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunick called out the francecar B.S. . Put cars on the track that were just inside their rule book , then built quality engines and did early undercar aero work for others with a price . ( some say he took zero dollars ) Just to piss off big bill france. Yunick's dynos plus his original fuel curve bench set - up is on display in the drag racing museum in FL. His designed , Edelbrock cast single carb " Smokey Ram " intake still amazes engine tuners today . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
