NASCAR Feud No. 4
Helmets Have Many Uses
Many family trees have become intertwined in the world of auto racing. If a driver took on a competitor, he might have to deal with a father, brother, or cousin. Fighting the rest of the family might occur in the pit or during the actual race.
In 1979 at the Daytona 500, Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison were fighting for the lead when the two cars bumped and smashed each other right out of the race.
Donnie's brother Bobby finished the race and then went back to help his brother, only to find Donnie and Cale arguing. Cale greeted Bobby's arrival by hitting him in the face with his helmet. This led to a three-person fistfight that was broadcast on national television to a very entertained viewing audience.
This is why golf, and not auto racing, is considered a gentleman's sport.
