“Jamie pull that up” 😂😂😂

It would be cool if you guys could throw some pictures of the cars and people that you’re talking about during the podcast. Def need a Jamie.

They actually have smokey in cars 3. He was doc Hudson's crew chief.

Smokey wasn't a cheater. He was a innovator. More often than not he didn't break a written rule, he exposed a loophole.

“Jamie, pull that up” 😂💀 we know Nolan is a JRE type of fella lmao

Thank you guys for this podcast. I am Polish, fan of motorization, and I I've never known about that amazing person. Poster of him will definitely be placed in honorable place in my flat or garage.

Smokey's white jumpsuit was his retaliation to his wife not letting him race, she had to do the laundry

"The fuel tank empty" then starts it up and drives away cause he cheated the gas tank 😂

I cannot believe this guy is not in the NASCAR hall of fame. Probably because NASCAR is too boring for him. Do you think we as fans and Donut media should petition to get him into the Hall of Fame?

Jamie Pull that up

I looked Smokey up and he looks exactly like you'd expect him to look.

"Dell"

So glad to be able to see the video versions of the amazing podcasts. Keep up the great work guys!

Paul Newman played doc Hudson, a Hudson hornet. The car that taught lighting McQueen to drift on dirt.

THIS is what we need to hear more of!! Please do more podcasts on similarly amazing people whom lived/live big and did/do great and crazy things! We all living sheltered lives now. We've forgotten the thrill of inventing and finding creative ways around our obstacles like Smokey was doing. 💗💗💗

Smokey built at least 3 of the shrunken Chevelle's. There are a few things you got right. 1 was that the engine was a stressed member. He took that idea with him from his Indy car days. Using that idea, you do have a little "fudge" room when it comes to cross frame mounts. There were also parts of Pontiac & Nova body panels used to shrink the car. The body was not only shifted rearward but also to one side for a static left-side bias. Also on the day of that inspection, there were 2 other "stock" Chevelle's in the paddock; just in case they were going to do that. The 2nd one you didn't mention was "just bought from a car lot" that still had window sticker on it. That was the one they were Supposed to take but decided it might have been a Plant from Smokey, and they were right. That was the one my Uncle had. The idea initially was to build stock car car bodies & chassis for new small teams to be able to compete with the already larger established NASCAR teams like the Wood Brothers, Petty Enterprises etc. I saw it once just before he got rid of it; and I know he Loved that car; and a few weeks later showed up with a brand new 427 L88 ZL1 Vette. My uncle never told me why he sold the car, to whom or where that was at, and I asked him that question every now & then til he passed away in 97 of cancer never answering it any other way but "I had a deal I couldn't pass up."

This podcast is the best part of my shop class keep them comeing!

Appreciate you guys always putting together such good content. None of that gimmicky garbage that plagues youtube. If anything is taken from this video, its that no matter what anyone thinks, do what you love!

I did not expect that to be so educational....great work fellas!

You've got to remember the pushrod Mercedes engines that were developed for Penske. They were one-off for info and used the higher displacement rules for pushrod engines that were changed after Penske was so much faster and ran away with the race. Same with the turbo Buick V6 engines. Smokey was an epic inventor who never got his reward in life.

Legend! ... Waiting for the next merch t-shirt to read ‘Buff like Nolan’ Great podcast Donut! Love the Dell branding

Nolan: “hmmmmm I wonder why they would suppress technology.......” James: “I DON’T KNOW NOLAN, I DON’T KNOW 👀”

This guy needs more attention these two podcasts were amazing and hilarious

I've seen this podcast in my recommendations and finally checked it out. It's great, I'll be listening more.

Thank you so much for this show. I love these stories.

I love these podcasts! U guys are always my go to!!

Listening to this to get me through my night shift. Keep up the good work guys.

Great podcast! Thank you for the entertainment!

Don Garllits said Smokey was the most intelligent person he ever knew, and yes according to Garlits Smokey always seemed to have plenty of money. A truly amazing man for sure.

Smokey took advantage of every grey area. And if there wasn’t a grey area, he made one.

You guys are absolutely fantastic! Bravo!

I love Smokey so much. I mean, finding loop holes and building and creating something that does not have any set guidelines cannot be considered cheating. Okay, agreed, basket ball in the fuel tank and 7/8th scale car, keep aside cheating for a second, HE WAS A FUCKING GENIUS!

Jerry was a racecar driver

True legend. Now i know what type of life you have to live for it to be worth writing a book about.

So awesome!!!

Awesome video!

Im here to support you guys!!

Great Stuff !

great point, it's about the character of the car.

MO’ PODCASTS BAAAABBBBYYYY!!!!🌩🌩🌩🌩

Can we introduce Ken Miles to the Certified Legends ?

Missed an f-bomb @48:12 lol

NOLAN SAID "THE WOMB BROOM" ....JEEESSSUUSSSS😂😂😂😂

THIS FRICKEN GUY WAS ALMOST THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT MY SCHOOL?!

12:08 a burnout with dyed tires is perfect. And a bbq. And some guns.

Smokey was badass!! Absolutely enjoyed this podcast

Nice 👍 I’m gonna watch more now

James: I wish I was Smokey Yunick... Same buddy. Same

I love how at 48:12 he says f*cked un beeped , and a couple seconds later at 48:20 says f*cked again but this time it is beeped 😂😂😂

I know there's a cougar in the car, I put the cougar in the damn car

Yo dude your podcasts are so cool dude

That 48:00 min go had me smiling like I haven't in a while. Anthony Bourdain is still my favorite guy but Smokey definitely has number 2 now.

I have a picture of me and smoky in the pits in mid Ohio racetrack

In 1965, Carroll designed the Supersnake as the ultimate Cobra for his personal enjoyment, so it's got two superchargers. This is the fastest Shelby you've never heard of: It's called the Cooper Monaco King Cobra. The chassis was designed by John Cooper, and Shelby did his thing with it, tossing in a Ford 289 V8. In a way, it was a precursor to the Lola-designed GT40

That intro stab is amazing 🤣🤣🤣

All that sweet talk and smokey lives on!

This is so much better than the silly little episodes that you do now.

I've restored numerious Hudsons with HH layouts...Those cars are Awesome!!!

Love that someone actually is making a podcast about influential people in the car scene, my father was a big smokey yunick fan but you guys should do a couple of these people Mickey Thompson (I know you mentioned him) Mario andretti Parnelli Jones The brotherhood of street racers Big red one (69 Camaro) Wink Eller There's a lot more I understand but I hope these people go on your list from cars to motorcycles they have all inspired people in the car scene. Anyone else needs to go on this list guys? I know there's more.

11:00 I love that he’s from Louisville I grew up along the Ohio River (Indiana and Kentucky) most my life and the Fire works, perfect.

I'm glad you dudes learned that. You guys need old issues of hotrod magazines. They have all kinds of cool car history info like that

Content as always is great. They should for sure add pictures of things &/or people they mention since they video record for KZfaq etc…the podcast is fine but when I watch the cast I’d like links & pics 🤙🏼

My dad me Smokey when I was a young man. He came home with a a hat signed by the man. Also has a copy of his book laying around somewhere .

You guys are legendary .

Smokey Yunick wrote an Autobigraphy "Best Dam Garage in Town " A Large book with many photos and stories plus an audio recording narratied by many of his friends..

Highly entertaining!

So the professor of my motor sports class was in nascar with Smokey and a lot of the other big name guys and he said that the car that he jumped in and drove with no gas in it actually had over 5 feet of fuel line hidden in the car and the size of the line was like 3 times the regular size because NASCAR didn’t have regulations on fuel line up until that point!

Gotta Smokey Story.....He bought a Helicopter, in Jacksonville, Florida...and TAUGHT HIMSELF how to fly it on the way home! Also, the autobiography, and several other books he wrote were published by "The Carbon Press" publishing co. Smokey was the owner. He started the publishing company because of his experience at Popular Science and Road & Track...He didn't want some ignorant editor jacking with his words.

I had the pleasure of meeting Smokey in 2000 at the PRI show, and saw his "cheatin" Chevelle as he called it. Definitely one of the coolest guys ever.

Smokey is also a character from Cars 3. A pick-up truck running Smokeys Automative Service.

That's a nice Dell you got there James

20:55 all 3 of us at the same time : "uuum"

I love this show it is awesomeness every episode ... One thing tho the audio is way way way to low pls make it louder when editing the video but other than that u guys are doing amazingly, beautifully good shows all around keep it up u guys I LOVE IT AND ALL U GUYS AT Doughnut!!!!! Keep it up!!!!

have started reading his book , a lot of the stories about his working life return a few times in the book did you guys actually read the book the lawyer came by for damages to someone that got bitten by the gator , he took a chunk out of a customer that was harrassing albert all the time , he used to drag him out from under the counter around by his tail all the time and stuck his findgers in his mouthwhen he had too mush to drink , one time he wasnt paying enough attentionand the gator got his fingers and after that his ankle the tech didnt found about the ports he found out about the cam that was not stock he trew boh cams in the bucket with the rest of the engineparts and smokey did the switcheroo inside the bucket with diesel , een made a misstake and the tech ficed that for him by taking the stock cam away from him al he used from the towtruck engine was the engineblock in the race nascar was set upto prevent local trackowners from taking off with the money , so that was an improvement lter it became verry corrupt and as long as you had enough money the rules could be bend the tree mayor carmanufacturers stopped racing nascar..... smokey was warned in advance .... a guy that bit him wasnt HE gotten burned bad the transam was built for pontiac the boss wanted one with a big engine smokey and one of his bosses was against it as it wouldnt steer , they got the mission to lighten the car , it never raced\ smokey hot vapor engine wish is still clouded in mystery

At some point, it would be awesome to hear the history of the WRC since it's not a racing series that isnt covered as much as stuff like Formula 1 or Nascar... at least in podcast format, I've seen the Group B Up to Speed, and I know theres more to be had.

Can you guys show pictures of some of the things you're talking about? Like the planes, NASCAR and Indy cars you're talking about in this episode? Or the changes in the bumper design in the PT cruiser episodes

My person refection and review: The podcasts are awesome! I think you need to include a "more pooowwweerr baby" every 15 minutes to keep my soul nourished and fore fore-filled. - Alex

I'm watching this a year later and this is amazing haha

Favorite ppdcast

what amplifier do you use for your mics

Awesome pod cast. I’ve been getting tired of joe rogan this is a great one to listen to at work

These two were great.

Smokey was not a cheater he was an interpreter of the rule book and finder of the unwritten advantage. I could listen to stories about this guy's life all day.

Every Smokey fan knew Ricky Bobby's dad's car was in reference to Smokey's Best Damn Garage in Town!

In Cars 3 we got to see a character named...Smokey...he was Doc Hudson’s crew chief...who was a Hudson Hornet....It’s so cool to see that there was a reference to the real Smokey in that movie!!

Smokey is my all time hero!

You guys are the best! So glad that you didn’t can Past Gas!

I want a Smokey Yunick movie

Smokey was still more likely to win dad of the year award than James' dad was, who went to get cigarettes and never came back, dying thereafter.

The Ford 300 is also in 5 liter inline 6 cylinder and they had that engine for a long time

@donutpodcasts guys! Loving the podcast. PLEASE make the episodes longer. Like 2 hours or an hour and a half. The banter between u and nolan is great but we dont hear alot of the story when u guys are just talking. Longer episodes! Like this comment if u agree.

Would be cool if yall showed the pictures on the screen (corner obviously) while talking about it loved the Joe Rogan head nod too!

This man was awesome

Ahh!! I'm from Florida and raised in Louisville #502

You guys should do an episode on Jim Clark, one of the greatest race car drivers of all time

Missing the live streams:( Are they coming back anytime?

how is this not demonetized XD

30s and 40s? I just did it last week 😂😂😂

Gotta love that Rogan ref!!! Hahahaha

very nice
