I remember it too. I saw Duke Cook race dozens of times when I was a kid.

If you look closer at the hood, it was the Willie Nelson "High Times" special.
Could someone do that in today's "politically correct" world?

David, what kind of look do you get, when you say you're going to a "midget race"? I just sent this link to AJ Watson, I'm sure he'll remember if it was one of his. Bob

Doug Trost in Pleasant Hill, OH put that car together for Duke and wrenched for Duke. First race for that car was at Volusia Co. FLA. However, Red did mechanic for Duke and build motors, but did not build the Willie Nelson Nance car for Super Duke.

Yes, check it out!! It came out of the Nance Stable. So that had to be late 70's early 80's.

Good point Bob....I'm surprised that, by now, we aren't going to "little people" races.
