Jeremy Clements apparently used it a few years back.. Totally flew under the radar because while he was talking to a reporter, it wasn't being recorded or anything. I don't even recall hearing about it.
Based on what I can find about it.. Sounds like he may have used the offensive version of "jerry-rigged"
I'd say he came back from it.. But.. He always just cobbled sponsorship together. Never had a big sponsor and with the incident being pretty low key.. I'd suspect he's fairly ticked off right now because it's being brought back up.
Well, hes a local boy to us, so Im sure that phrase just comes natural to him. I hear it regularly around here.

Who was the local guy.. Had a shop down in Simpsonville/Fountain Inn? Right down near Cannon Memorial Gardens and.. didn't he die in an ARCA race? Ooooh.. Who am I thinking of?
Or am I just confusing two people?
Chad Coleman.. I think that's it.
FWIW.. I'm related, by marriage, to Don Duckworth who ran the 1955 Southern 500 and had a horrendous crash that left him in a coma. Never met the man. He married a cousin on my fathers side.

You can find video of his wreck on Youtube as well.
Yes, Chad Coleman. Shane Hall was one of the drivers driver for Stegall Motorsports (Stegall Mobile Homes from years past). That shop in Fountain Inn, Sunshine Auto Repair now. I work very, very close to that place. Shane is still around, but what I can recall is if Chad drove before or after Shane, but Shane drove for Stegall in Busch, Coleman in ARCA.
Another guy who died was a Laughlin, cant recall his first name, but his Dad owned(s) the place in Simpsonville that use to build chassis for at least half of the cars in Nascar. I dont recall if he was driving ARCA or Busch at the time.

Mike Laughlin? (Not "Magic Shoes" Mike McLaughlin) I remember him running races, don't recall hearing he died.. Of course, the Chad Coleman death passed me by for a few years, so..

No, not Mike. Maybe it was Mikes son. I really dont recall other than it was one of them that died during a race.

must be nice to have a race driver in your family tree, i only have a couple of presidents.
Poor guy was basically snakebit. He had that bad crash at Darlington, which was his only start. Left him in a coma for a week. He was never the same after that. Family i've talked to said he changed after it. Which.. Yeah.. Can kinda understand.

So, there's rumors of Darlington being the first race back. Not Labor Day, but before Memorial Day.
That.. Doesn't seem to make sense. The reasoning is that it's a close to home track. It'd be run without fans.. And.. Since Darlington is one of the smaller drawing tracks.. From that standpoint, it kinda makes sense.
Just.. Seems weird to take the Labor day date. Unless they need that date to fill in missed races and that's the only time they can get it in.
Texas seems.. Upset at the prospect. Because that would generally be their date that would go to Darlington.
