Makes me think of my grandad. They were the last of a breed.

Back before computers, engineers and others who have been educated beyond their intelegence there were guys like Jake. Self taught with a memory like an Elephant. I was fortunate enough to drive for a guy very similar to Jake. Guy named Donald Stacks. We ran short dirt and won a lot. Back in the 70's. He could take homebuilt and out run store bought. He told me more than once: " Don't wreck it unless you are up near the front. Unless you are near the front you aint running fast enough to wreck!!" Guys like this are sadly gone.

replaced by spreadsheets, accelerometers, strain gages, and analytics. Makes the cars faster, but eliminates the characters. Things change.

Name out of the past. Glad some one didn't forget about the people that made NASCAR what it was. Real legend.

My grandpa's next door neighbor. One of the coolest guy who ever walked ....

That’s my great grandad!

Interesting. Has the desire to tinker with automobiles continued down the generations?

Its to bad he is not in High schools around the US telling racing stores and giving kids advice and possible sparking new ideals or dreams. He is what some call a cook. he knows what works and what to change, love the words he said I have a fell and cooks have that insight. Some are teacher, vets pilots or sports players What a person.

Thats a cool thing to be able to say

Suit Case is a legend !

Hoilman Moody put together some great Ford motors. Like in my dad's 68 Torino GT

Funny when they show the Holman Moody sign but show 66 or 67 Charger in shop being worked on. Probably Cotton Owens shop.

Thanks for sharing these, I love the earlier history of this sport!

Terry Labonte's nickname was the "ice man", for that reason.

Ole' suitcase Jake!

Thanks Jeff for sharing this

Jake helped a lot of younger drivers behind the scenes during his career. That's not as well known.

Actually, I was on another team during that time and Jake used to complain all the time that Earnhardt wouldn't listen to him.

Really wish they would kill the music.

@alanjrkaminski That's hardly fair. This is from an old Speed Channel broadcast. Not the fault of the person who took the time to upload it to youtube to further your knowledge of racing history. Not cool.

@alanjrkaminski Oh, I see now. You've been hugely inconvenienced by watching a video you could've stopped 10 seconds in, took the time to complain about it, gave it a dislike, AND like your own comments. I see now your time is a precious commodity. The guy who took the time to post this who had nothing to do w/it's production clearly deserves points off his channel.

@alanjrkaminski ArchieJrTrumpkerski is mad at the World. You can't take it when you're wrong. And you forgot to Like your own comment this time. Just un-dislike it like a gentleman and move on. Or perhaps write The Speed Channel back in time to 2002 and I'm sure they'll correct the sound to your liking.

Ol' DW nailed it. Even if you're exceptionally talented but not a "team player" or great communicator it seems to tempt co-workers to test you. Hence, you pack your "suitcase" & go because, when you have Jake's cred, he knew he could get another job anywhere in the sport.

Get him in the Hall of Fame

Liked the Hell out of old Jake!

I actually miss DW being in the booth, he was the last connection to the past in my opinion, love or hate him you have to give him his dues because he was Nascar in his prime!

Music is to loud can't hear the man speak.

Why do they let these people talk? It distracts from the music.

Dale Earnhardt's 1st crew chief at Rod Osterlund's Racing !!!!!

No nonsense guy. I love them types.

🚘🏁🙋‍♂️

Huh?

He talks like Mumbles. Bartle doo.

Another one gone too soon.

Sure wish I could turn off the music! Dang irritating

Dam music to loud barley hear a darn thing
