Yep, in NASCAR, the driver who starts the race gets the points and credit for the finish. That’s why when a driver gets injured and can’t run a full race, if possible, he will start and run a few laps or until the first caution, then get out of the car. Interesting history on that car. My grandfather worked at Daytona speedway for a long time and was a devout Harry Gant fan

Great story. I owned an ex-Bobby Allison/Neil Bonnett/Jimmy Means Malibu from the 1970's (my generation). It's great fun doing the "detective work" especially when there's an interesting "back story".

Absolutely incredible history! I wanted this badly beforehand, now I REALLY want it! If you ever sell it, lmk. Harry Gant was my dad's neighbor back in the day.

I honestly think Harry Gant WILL FINALLY go into The NASCAR Hall Of Fame this year‼️ When you look at the candidates, how can you keep him out any longer‼️ And Neil Bonnett should go in as well! It's absolute B.S. that Harry has had to wait this long‼️ Put him in while his family, friends, and legions of fans can still enjoy it‼️‼️🇺🇸🏁33/7

Was browsing racing junk and I saw you’re selling your Rusty Wallace car was just curious as to why that one that one seems like the best project car

How much do you ask for for your cars and do they run with original engines or just show car engines

I'm odd, but I'd restore it back to the Eddie/Peak car. There are plenty of icons in the sport who will never be forgotten. Petty, Earnhardt, Gant, Gordon, Wallace, it would be nice to represent and remember the independent driver.

Would be nice if it could be rebodied into an Oldsmobile. Rhine enterprises is the only one that comes to mind though

So what are your plans with the Skoal car? Leave it or restore it as the #23 peak car?
