I have a '96 Chili Bowl T' shirt that I still wear proudly.
Chili is a drivers race..the best rises to the top. ( now don't get me wrong..setup is key)..but to me..to see Sammy end up 3rd and his kid winning means a lot to me.
Spent 20 yrs at Knoxville and seen bunches. Steve, Sammy, Wolf..16 yr old Unser Jr getting his licks..Jeff Gordon and all passed through that place. Used to be that's how you earned your stripes. Sad how things have changes. It's not about your ability anymore..or earning it.
Thanks for the flashback, Joe!!
So how was it? Could you breath the air in the building?
How does it compare to a drag race?
Was Cruz Pedregon in this deal?
