[edit] Mule

Did the mule work? Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 14:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

From reference #3: France said "Everything that was motorized back then got stuck in the swamp. I said, let's try a mule. That didn't work either." That's just too funny! Royalbroil ^T : C 16:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NASCAR.com relevance in article

I'm sorry to say this, but the sentence on NASCAR.com being created in 1996 really isn't that relevant to this article. I think that that sentence would do good on the NASCAR article, but definitely not this. However, I will not delete the sentence from the article, until I get feedback about my opinion on the sentence's relevance. Tech43 03:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I added it to the original article to list some of the key events that happened to NASCAR during his reign. What other key things happened during his reign? Royalbroil 04:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I really don't recall what he did to be honest. Well he did ink alot of television deals, but that's already in the article. If I'm not feeling lazy I'll do some research. Tech43 04:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
