Yep... to win the race from 2 laps down he had to catch the leader pass him, catch him again pass him, catch and pass the 3rd time to win.. I heard it told that ford engineers wanted to look at the motor and Ernie Elliot told them NOPEYeah, didn;t he lap the field twice in order to win ? The good ole days, "run what you brung". There were Fords, Chevy's, Old's, Pontiacs, Buicks and Mopars back then...now there's.....never mind.
