This American Mechanic Beat NASCAR So Often They Wrote The Rulebook Around ONE Man

📕 Don't buy a used car until you read this. Buy Once, Drive Forever — what to buy, what to avoid, how to inspect like a mechanic. https://savvypurchase.samcart.com/pro... There was one American mechanic so brilliant that NASCAR officials joked the rulebook had a dedication to him on the first page — because he forced them to write half of it. His name was Smokey Yunick. NASCAR suspected his car was getting impossible fuel mileage, so they pulled the gas tank to inspect it. The tank was legal — but Smokey had run an 11-foot fuel line with a 2-inch diameter that secretly held two extra gallons. Another time, inspectors gave him a list of nine things to fix. He started the car — which they'd already removed the fuel tank from — and drove it back to the pits, saying 'better make it ten.' He cooled his fuel to near-freezing so he could pack more in. He built a Chevelle so aerodynamically modified people swore it was shrunk to 7/8 scale. Every trick he pulled, NASCAR responded by writing a new rule. He didn't race cars. He raced the rulebook — and won.
