A few minutes ago commentator Darrell Waltrip was explaining how a driver will try to get to the front of the pack at Talladega. He said a driver will use anybody that can help push him to the front of the pack even if the guy is driving a Studebaker. Not exactly a positive Studebaker comment I would say, even though it was done tongue in cheek.

sadly, but understandably, each year we get older fewer and fewer folks will not understand that comment in the context it was made...I wonder how many 30 and under viewers even `got it`...

Darrell Waltrip is a joker and I took what he said with a grain of salt. He may have said Studebaker because it's more likely that folks would recognize the name. Many young people would not recognize Hudson or Nash, etc. Edsel would get a reaction, but people don't really know why the reaction.
