Yes, I considered Earl a friend, after I built my own Sportsman car Earl used to get tires for me. The Goodyear T 70 tire was a left side qualifying tire for the Cup guys, they wouldnt sell them to the Sportsman guys but Earl would get them for meTommy,
I saw where Earl Brooks also drove for your car owner. Were you good friends with Earl?
Earl was a good friend with a friend of mine. He always talked very highly of him. They worked together somewhere in Lynchburg, VA, but I can't remember where. Earl was also real good friends with Wendell Scott, as I'm sure you know. There are some interesting stories out there on the two.Yes, I considered Earl a friend, after I built my own Sportsman car Earl used to get tires for me.
