One story I heard was that Smokey mounted a licence plate in front of the grill. NASCAR thought it was cute but Smokey found it created a high pressure area over the carburetor - a mild supercharging effect.
Smokey was great at knowing NASCAR rules of the time and their loopholes. Like a 7/8 version of a Chevrolet and using a 2' fuel line.
Yeah, NASCAR tried the template they used and it didn't fit. So they went to the parking lot and it didn't fit a stock Chevelle either.
