As a past World Champion he doesn't need them.

That's how Jeggie and Jason Line were able to drive AH cars a few years ago at Indy.

Correct! Go Don! Jim

That would be awesome to race against the legend

"The Legend" (with apologies to Chip) has a lifetime of driving high-gear-only cars in competition; think he'll take off in 5th????

I think it's great for Stock/SS racing. Positive publicity.

Somehow I don't see Don banging gears down the quarter mile, makes me wonder if it's not an auto.
