According to an Hemmings Motor News article, Henry "Smokey" Yunick "was born in 1924 in what was then bucolic Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on a farm not far from the famed Langhorne Speedway." Quicksilver 19:54, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Official US records confirm he was born in 1923 Greasywheel (talk) 08:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page calls the pictured Turner car a replica of the '66; this page calls it the real thing from '67. Which is it? TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 23:37, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Since then, NASCAR required each race car's roof, hood, and trunk to fit templates representing the production car's exact profile"

Maybe instead of "since then" say "Subsequently"? They are practically spec cars now. 96.240.128.124 (talk) 02:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
