Wendell Scott & Jabe Thomas

Wendell's #34 at Talladega

Richard Petty's 1968, 1970 and 1971 (L to R) Plymouths.  YES, that is a vinyl top on the 1968 Roadrunner.  The King used it in the 1970 DAYTONA 500 to mess with the rest of the racers heads.  The rumor was started that it helped aerodynamically similar to the dimples on a golf ball.  The leading edge of the roof came loose during the race and had to be taped down with "200 mile an hour tape" (duct tape for you non-NASCAR speaking visitors.)
