Why the tweety bird on the Deppe cars? Any thoughts on Rib Mountain Marine?

Great video. I believe I've heard over the years that it was some.type of politics that kept Petty out of the Rahmoc car. Dave definitely got every ounce of speed out of every car he drove.

Great interview ! If i'm not mistaken, Marcis was not the first "Stacy" car to win a race (1982). Neil Bonnett was driving the K&K Dodge in 1977 when midway through the season Stacy bought the team, painted the cars white & re-numbered them to # "5". Bonnett won the last race of the 1977 season at Ontario driving the #5 "Jim Stacy" Dodge . PS...I was at Talladega that day in 1976 for qualifying & it's true, Dave Marcis got so close to hitting the wall coming off the 4th. turn you could see the shadow of his car against the wall !

@shanew.williams thank you but not sure. Was talking to Mr. Stacy's daughter Velvet (who I'm gonna have on soon) and she thought the company's on Neil's cars were her dad's other businesses like Pocahontas and I forget the other but will double check 😊

What was the stub end of @12:40 ? Looked interesting because you can see "20th. Century Fox", like it might have been part of a cancelled check ? But the amount etc. is chopped off.

Best post-crash interview ever was Dave Marcis. I don't remember which race, but the reporter came up and said , Dave, what was the problem out there? Dave said, (and I quote) " The problem is John Andretti. The little bastard can't see"

Hopefully D. Marcis will get a vote for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He's an icon, and did a lot with a little for a long time (and I dunno how he raced in wingtips for so long). Glad to see he's still kickin' .. I'm old enough to have a good handful of memories watching him race and seeing his interviews ..

@drppr76 thank you. And yes, Isaac had three points paying Cup wins on superspeedways and then two more after they no longer "counted" the 125's. I did a show on all of his stock car wins here. Thanks for your kind words! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6l_o7GjyNTRm58.htmlsi=d2T8Pu7l-J0TQO9P

Thanks for sharing this. Clarence was my uncle, Nancy Peppers brother, and I have very faint memories of him. I really wish I could've known him better. My cousin Cory Lovell, Charles Lovells son, started racing in the early 90's and still races today, carrying on the Lovell racing legacy.

This is very good. However, there are a few drivers that you missed. Cale Yarbourogh ran the Indy 500 four times in his career, and in 1971 and 72, he ran on the USAC Indy Car series full time. Also, Leroy Yarbrough ran at Indy and a few Indy Car races, finishing 2nd in the ingural Ontario 500 in 1970. Also, you left out Tim Richmond.

Me and the whole crew on the 77 car, worked our butts off that weekend. I loved every minute of it. We tore up three transmissions and a couple of drive shafts, and ripped the rear centerlink mount out of the car, but I had fun. We didn't break those parts in a way you would first think. Something kicked me into high gear that weekend. It was the most involved I ever got. I was kind of crew chief by default. Charlie Newby was under the hood mostly, and calling the shots on race day. With our other troubles I had to roll up my sleeves, with the help of driver Andy Farr's guys that became the team at the start of '94 to crew the car, we kept putting it back together. We were allowed quick change rear-ends back then. So when you change rear gears you don't really see most of the working parts or much of the lube. Still not knowing for sure what caused our problems, we headed home. I mentioned to the guys that we should pull the rear end apart, I didn't like what I saw in the gear lube. BINGO! There was a broken ring gear bolt that would occasionally get tossed around, and for a split second jam the rear gears and stop the rear wheels. Probably the roughness of the track, Andy didn't feel the rear wheels stopping. Likely felt like a bump in the track. One other thing about that race. IndyCar talks about racing across a bridge at Memphis. There were two bridges at Des Moines. Another thing, the people were AWESOME. It's one thing to shut down your city streets to build a race track. It's a whole new game when they shut down more at night for street parties. Being in the Corn and Cattle belt...the food was to die for.
