So.... I did botch the make and model of yesterdays photo... but those who know me knwo I won't mess this one up!!


Classic NASCAR Photo of the Day


This is Hoss Ellington's crashed '68 Ford Torino in teh 1969 ARCA race at Daytona! The race winner, Lee Roy Yarbrough, narrowly missed heavy contact with this car while it was crashing on the back straightaway.

Hoss Ellington was alright as a crew chief and owner, but never had a lot of luck as a driver....

This season is gonna be wide open for me, I haven't really followed much and it's been getting kinda boring the last few years for me. If RCR isn't competitive I'm gonna give up on NASCAR. Harvick is/was my driver, it all depends on him...........

Very clever Duane


I like the suitcoat jacket, However What was that spattered on the left lapel?
BirdPoop,cigarette burn or green corn seed burn?

Id have to say at that close range shots.. I was surprised you missed not once but twice! (with plink target loads)

Id say for your daytona 500 picks/@ 500 yards.... Useing a paintball gun!
