40 years ago today was a very special day. I went to Victory Lane with “Gray Ghost” in the Daytona 500. That’s me walking next to Waddell Wilson who is on the hood.

We lost Bobby Watson this past weekend. He raced for my grandfather in the 1960’s. He was a great driver and a mechanical genius. I spent many days as a kid around him and the racecars. He will be missed! RIP Watson 🏁
I want to wish Waddell Wilson a very happy birthday! He taught me more about racing than anyone that I was ever around.
This picture is he and I going to victory lane at Daytona 1980.
