Dickie Edwards promoted it as a tribute to Jud Larson.

That really was a nice lookin' race car! :6:

I got to sit in it (at least once that I can remember), and Duke gave me a T-shirt of his with that car on it, that I wore proudly.

Dad took me to my first Hoosier 100 back when Duke had that car.

It was really cool watching the race from the infield.

I loved seeing the long/big cars...flashy paint jobs and lots of chrome. It was also cool hearing the guys work the throttle through the big sweeping turns, and then hearing them 'stand on it' down the straights!
