Unfortunately, Brooks was caught up in a wreck after leading five laps, though he finished a respectable seventh from an eighth-place starting spot. Rossi ran a total of 15 races with Dick Brooks in , posting 12 top finishes but no victories.
Petty won 21 of 48 races that year starting with the Daytona , and took his third Cup championship. That incident saw 37 teams leave the track in protest, refusing to participate in the first mile race at what was then Alabama International Motor Speedway, over safety concerns specifically related to tire wear at the higher Talladega speeds.
Based on his experiences in NASCAR over the years, Rossi was an early advocate for the creation of an oversight organization that would address problems in the sport and improve communications between the sanctioning body, owners, drivers and sponsors -- a concept truly ahead of its time. There's the answer to the success of this sport.
He won't be missed until an honest-to-goodness effort is made to encourage people of his caliber to stay in racing. His next job was as team manager for DiGard Racing, a well-funded start-up team launched in DiGard signed a young talent named Darrell Waltrip to drive for them in , but he and Rossi were frequently at odds, mainly over engine endurance.
In retrospect, Rossi was among the sport's first participants to acknowledge that NASCAR was changing -- years before polished, media savvy crew members became the norm.
As the sport continues to reach higher levels, a mechanic has got to be able to twist a wrench as well as present himself in a good light to the public. There's far more to this sport than changing oil and getting dirty. Unless a man is willing to give the number of hours required, deny himself the luxury of an eight hour day, and dedicate himself to the job at hand, I would recommend that he choose another profession.

At the same time, it's a great fun, horror experience that will scare the crap out of everybody [laughs]. But it also gives you something to think about. Insider: Do you like horror movies or is starring in one the closest you want to get to them? Fernanda: Option B, really [laughs]. My mother is terrified of horror movies. She never let us watch anything scary, so I didn't grow up watching them — but for this film, the director told me I had to watch three movies: Bloody Sunday, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and The Exorcism.
I almost couldn't bring myself to do that [laughs]. But I watched them and I think that's when I started to really get interested in those movies. All of a sudden, I realized there was this element to all of them that was part of that universal question that we will keep asking forever, which is the reason we love these kinds of movies so much.
