I remember being at Olympic Stadium in Kansas City in 1963 when Jud started his return to racing. The guy was really hungry and drove the wheels off the car but took too many chances and ended not finishing the race. Still remember they made a promoter decision to let 5 cars start in the trophy dash for Jud. He drove like a man possessed and won the trophy.

I didn't care for the reference to native Americans.

I agree that the writer could have used a better example. No offense intended on my part.
