This sucks. I was so thrilled talking to him at MCACN.

One of the three ‘must-reads’ for any car guy is “Best Damn Garage in Town” by Smokey Yunick. Many American racing legends drove for him. Smokey ranked them in the chapter “50 Good Drivers and an Asshole.”

Bobby Unser rated almost 4 pages:

“There was a time that if a rattlesnake bit him, it would have broke its teeth.”

RIP Bobby.

As a kid I was always a huge AJ fan, but much respect to Bobby , One of the Best during the Golden Age of Motor Racing. Always enjoyed him as a race commentator too
