David Ifft - Men Behind the Wrenches

From the old SPEED channel, Jeff Hammond hosts this profile of NASCAR crew chief David Ifft. Through his career, David worked with Bud Moore, DiGard Racing and M.C. Anderson before going into business for himself. His light-hearted approach made him a favorite among drivers, team owners and the media. Buddy Parrot, Darrell Waltrip, Buddy Baker, Benny Parsons, Dick Berggren and Deb Williams help portray the character of this legendary mechanic & crew chief.

[@jeffatkinson6848]

was david mad about the underwear story

[@sbmcvp4525]

Cool dude but he stretched the Yarborough wins in 82 & 83. More like 2 and 3 instead of 5 and 6 he recalled. Yarbs could have had those numbers if the car stayed together. I was all tuned in to every lap of every race back then.

no way id wear another mans underwear
