I had the opportunity to spend the day with legendary drag racer Don “The Snake” Prudhomme yesterday. While I first met him back in the ’90’s, and have been around him some through the years, this was the most time I’d spent with him at once. He was in town for a few things, and because Rick Hendrick bought a 1974 Army sponsored Vega from him, he came by Hendrick Motorsports to fire it up for us. What an experience to be that close to a racing legend, and see him do his thing! Really special!
