I thought I read a post here a few years ago that someone was pushing the idea to adopt ASCS 360 engine rules for the USAC Silver Crown series.

Anyone else think that Wendy's is missing out on a perfect marketing angle with their Baconator Sandwich and being a sponsor of Brady and the Hoffman Team?

Absolutely AMAZING!

However, they left out the 1980 Indy 500 saga that Gary went through. Slowest car in the field, rode the bubble on Bubble Day and came home 3rd.
