    Love hearing stories regarding "creative rule bending". EVERY team that wins at any level, does it. The creativity of guys like Chad Knaus, Gary Balough, Mark Martin, Jr Hanley, Smokey Yunick, Jeff Hammond, Jr Johnson, Maurice Petty, Jake Elder, Harry Hyde and many many more, need to be celebrated. In my opinion, if there's no rule against it, it's not illegal, and open to exploitation. Racing needs this spirit of creativity. 👏👏👏 🇨🇦

    Agreed! So many fans are quick to say "oh! They cheated! Boo!" Thats racing. You are trying to achieve that competitive edge on the competition. It was like 50 years ago and It'll be that way going into to the next gen too. I'm sure the big dogs and creative minds will find a way with this next gen car. 😄

    "Creativity" is why a lot of people follow the sport. My dad read "Best Damn Garage In Town" to me when I was 5, and I begged to watch a NASCAR race. This is in Australia, by the way. We turned on the 1993 Daytona 500 and my dad and I mused about why the front guys might be fast, and why the fast guys might not be at the front. Then we wildly speculated as to how Gibbs was anywhere near winning when it ended. Please encourage your guests that having the rulebook written around you is the shiniest badge of honor that there is in your sport. Junior Johnson and Smokey Yunick will always be household names because of their innovation. I've given up everything I owned to study engineering because I want to have the big ideas that stock car chiefs have been having for decades. It is what a large portion of us love.

    silkysixx, Smokey Yunick was the king of cheating in NASCAR. So much so that NASCAR forced him out in 1970. He's not in the NASCAR HOF nor will he ever be. Dale Earnhardt Sr once stated that any win obtained by cheating is NOT a victory. Dale Sr disliked anybody that cheated. I worked at DIS 1996-2006 as part of the security/safety teams. I remember one Saturday that Dale Sr discovered a set of illegal cylinder heads on the #3 race car. He demanded that they be changed, or he'd not drive it. Dale Sr was very picky, and he always deeply inspected every race car that he ever drove before every race. Anything not right got corrected/fixed, or he'd refused to get into the car. Like his dad, Dale Jr, has a high integrity level. IMHO, Dale Sr had the most integrity of any NASCAR race car driver that I ever met. I've met a lot of them because I raced in the NASCAR North series for many years and worked at DIS for ten years. I totally agree with the NASCAR executives. Dale Earnhardt Sr was the greatest race car driver in NASCAR's history. He could do things with a race car that other race car drivers thought were impossible to do. Whenever he'd say something wouldn't work, he was 99% right.

( Dave was/is younger than Smokey ) He said that Smokey taught him a lot, and helped him a lot. He also said Smokey was way ahead of the competition in so many ways. I watched Bud Moore say that it wasn't uncommon for Smokey's engines to have a 30 hp advantage over the rest of the field.

Innovating/creativity is put a 10 gallon fuel tank in the car but the rule book says nothing about putting a second 1 gallon fuel tank in the car. I think Smokey Yunick did that or something similar.

    Hey Chad, do you remember the guys at 280 paint and Body? Stanley Smith would send you guys over with a car on Thursday morning and want it back on Friday afternoon! Philepe Lopez, Todd Foster and You. You guys are awesome. Just a shout out from a guy that didn't make it like y'all did. RIP Stanley Smith.

    LarryWT, like his dad, Dale Jr has a very high integrity level. I worked at DIS 1996-2006 as part of the security/safety teams. Dale Sr was very picky about every race car that he ever drove. I remember a Saturday when he discovered that the #3's engine had a set of illegal cylinder heads on it. He demanded that they be changed, or he would NOT race the car on Sunday. Dale Sr always inspected every race car before he'd drive it. Anything not right got corrected/fixed, somebody got an ass chewing.

    When I used to hear " if ya ain't cheat n you aren't trying hard enough " I just didn't agree. I have however changed my prospective because I was niave and didn't realize how prevalent it was. Teams that were racing by the rules didn't have a chance to finish in the money sometimes barely making the field are forced to imitate or vacate.

Next, link full episodes in KZread description so I don't have to go googling and possibly never get there. Lastly, where can we watch full episode videos, spotify doesn't have dirty mo video?
