For sure, Smokey was a flamboyant character in NASCAR. Mr. Yunick reminds me of Johnny Cochran, F. Lee Baily, and Gerry Spence all rolled into one. You definitely want them on your team when you need them, but everybody knows that you really can't pull a rabbit out of your hat, . . . . unless it's a real special (trick) hat.
I liked Smokey's idea of adding a downforce wing (spoiler) to hold his car to the ground in the corners improving cornering speed. Well, . . . . until he realized that with downforce comes drag. In NASCAR, what he gained in the corners, he more than gave up on the straights! But hey, if Smokey did it, either it was promptly banned, or everybody else had it the next day. The show must go on!
