More Nascar in Japan fun: to a Japanese speaker, the English pronunciation of Nascar would sound more like 'Nas-ca'; verbally this would sound like the Japanese phrase "Nasu ka?" or "Is it an eggplant?" ...No, it's a car race.

Joe Ruttman definitely should have been on this list. In 225 Cup races, he had 19 top fives, 60 top 10s and led 807 career laps. He also came agonizingly close to winning at Richmond in 1982. He was dominating the race when his power steering failed and caused him to crash out only moments before a rainstorm stopped the race and gave a fortunate Dave Marcis the victory.

His Nationwide victory at Charlotte was incredibly impressive holding his line off final turn 4 against Matt Kensith. His first words in Victory lane were "this is what you can do when you have good equipment!". Can't believe you didn't mention him.

I wonder if Ralph would have turned down the Cup Series like Dick...statistically he did very well on short tracks, although he never did get an opportunity at Daytona, Charlotte, or Talladega. Who knows, maybe if he'd seen Dale Sr's start in 1975 he'd be inclined to give it a try, at least for a few years (still impresses me how people would race into their mid to late 50s, absolute units) Also good God I'm hype for today. At some point where copyright permits, you should get some of the crew together and watch a live race (I'm not familiar with platforms that allow this, but last I checked you're okay so long as there's no feed and no sound)

I always get a big kick out of the look on young people's faces when I tell them smoking was allowed outdoors on our high school campus back in the 70's. They also allowed firearms in the parking lot as long you kept them in your vehicle and the school did not have it's own police force in those days. It was a different world back then for sure.

First video i have seen from this contributer. Good content, and no cutesie comments are down talking the drivers. Great to learn how good Trickle was, that the big dance wasn't that big a deal to him. Others it was a timing issue where the money wasn't good or they got into it later in life. Saw a story that said Janet Guthrie was a great driver, but couldn't get the quality ride to showcase it.
