Nice article and very good insight from Whit. The one thing I would disagree with though is Whit saying that Gary could have "easily" outrun him that day. That was a one lane race track that day, that was the whole point of giving Whit the good lane. could it have happened? Yes, but not easily. I think Dixon did make a miracle run in the bad lane to win TF, if I remember correctly.

You remember correctly. That was indeed a ONE LANE track. Baze got beat in the final because he didn't have lane choice. Dixon didn't have lane choice either and I still to this day can't believe he won ...and against a very stout Doug Kalitta no less. I nearly passed out in front of my TV set when that happened. The grand wizard LaHaie definitely pulled a rabbit out of his hat on that one. One of the greatest runs I ever seen. The announcers were stunned too. I still have it on video tape. I'll never erase it.

Love him or hate him one of the things you can always say about Whit is he tells it like it is no spin doctor - HONESTY abounds - thanks for saying what so many thought.

Wish you were out there as the sport misses you!
