Re: Don Yenko on Video
here is a picture of the 66 Corvette that was sponsored by Best Photo. This car is restored but they put a stock windshield back in it. Some people say this car and Penske's were special built 66 pre L88 factory cars but not sure about that. Chevy went where the money was and Don had lost his big sponsorship deal with Gulf. The Oil Co. were spending the big money so I guess they went with Penske and Sunoco. Don won B/P in 62 and 63 in Gulf cars. Don was with Dick Guldstand and Bob Bondurant at LeMans in 67 but is not listed in the records. Then Don was with DX Oil in 67 and 68. After that I think he had a deal with Marathon Oil. Don also co drove with Greenwood, Dave Heinz, Jerry Thompson and others.
