Well done..let the guest talk...need to do more interviews like this of not just drivers but engine builders n crew chiefs...need to do it now because alot of these ol guys are not spring chickens anymore
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.
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
I love listening to Waddell’s racing stories!!!!! Imagine the knowledge that man has!
A great man
