Notable quote
“Back in those days you had to race several times a week all over the place if you wanted to win a championship. One weekend over Labor Day in 1973 I raced in six races over five days five states. I raced over 1,750 laps over that period and won four of those races. After that people started calling me the Iron Man.” —from a 2017 interview for Motorsport.com
