WHY IS THIS RACE DRIVER GRINNING?

Some say it's because he gave up a promising film career to head up the Budweiser Racing Team! But the real reason is that he just likes to win. And he did plenty of that this past season in a pair of Budweiser-sponsored, Bob Sharp-prepared Datsun race cars. Fifteen races: Twelve wins! On the pole eight times! Three track records! And in the SCCA National Championships at Road Atlanta, he took a second place in his C-Production Datsun 280-Z . . .an d a third in the B-Sedan category with his Datsun 200-SX. Naturally, we congratulate him for his super season and wish him even greater success in '79.
