So.. I think it's actually right. Some youtubers have done some investigation in the past and this all lines up.


Unfortunately, he's telling his story to someone who is releasing the interviews in pieces.. So, sounds like, to an extent, there's money to be made here and people are being careful to make sure they get their piece of the pie.



For those not familiar with the story.. He basically ran one race at Talladega back in 1982, was parked after 12 laps for being a menace to the other cars.. Had announced sponsorship from TG Sheppard who claimed he had never heard of him.. Then just disappeared owing most everyone money.

What a cool topic. After reading this, I did some research on my own. Quite an interesting story!
