Excellent interview. Aside from all of Mr. Wilson's Achievements/Contributions, at least i learned of one more thing Dale Earnhardt can not be given credit, for, although, he probably has and that thing is the Fuel Cell. The other thing is Gold. I am fairly certain he did not invent Gold. Fool's Gold, maybe.

Why are there 2 different stories on where the Pontiac that Cale ran as a backup came from?

Smokey Yunick built roll cages that NASCAR didn't allow.. Smokey built safer barrier walls out of used tires .. NASCAR had no interest in them either , Until years later
