Still thinking about how Dick Trickle kept a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in the car and would smoke mid-race.

Give him a break, man. He ended up with the name Dick Trickle.

King can’t be bothered.

Just a man and his ride.

Loved how Trickle would display a Winston Pack, but it was filled with Camel’s. 🚬

Ol Dick would love the new stage racing. He’s need at least another half pack to make it through the race. Rest easy DT!

I took a picture of his car interior just because I thought it was classic that he had an ashtray and coffee cup holder welded next to the gauges. I wish he could have gotten a cup win.

I keep thinking about how some receptionist would have to walk into the doctors waiting room and announce they they’re ready to see dick trickle and the other patients are surely going to think she outed a symptom.

Dick Trickle does what the fuck Dick Trickle wants.

David Pearson also had a lighter in his car and would smoke.

David Pearsons car had a cigarette lighter in the dash

It’s just left turns. How hard can it be?

Harry Gant would to. That's why a lot of the old timers wore open face helmets.

Not like he’s running. Smoke em if you got em.

@rodgeau He was a true old timer NASCAR guy 😎

Buddy Baker and others before Dick. Miss all of them

Well he was racing in ...."The Winston Cup".

it was "Winston Cup" racing... Literally a fast paced cigarette ad.

Still thinking about his parents naming him Richard

My dad took me to my first national series race in ‘99, Dick was staying at the same hotel as us. He got hammered with my old man the night before the race then spotted me at the track the next day and took me for a spin in his golf cart. Absolute unit.

Most @NASCAR thing I’ve ever seen!

In his short track days people knew when he flicked his cig out the window he was about to go on the restart so he started using that to trick people on restarts

During yellow flags.

Not just A lighter, the ultra cool push in pop out lighter lol

If you can smoke while you’re doing it, it’s a pastime not a sport.

This is what we miss about NASCAR

Just classic Dick Trickle. Not product placement, not an act, just who he was. Later on (with full-faced helmets) he drilled a hole to stick the cigarette through He was actually a Marlboro man- he agreed to carry his cigs in a Winston pack so as not anger sponsor R.J. Reynolds

Loved the post-race Sportscenter: "Jeff Gordon came in first, Skinner second, and Earnhardt came in third...Dick Trickle finished 39th."

It’s the god damn Winston 500… it’s just an advertisement

@Abnjm @BradSchutte76 back when nascar was fun!

Wearing penny loafers 👞

@BlatzBeerLover Could not even guess how many Friday nights in the 70s I spent watching him race on the 1/4 mile dirt oval at Golden Sands Sperdwsy in Plover, WI.

What kind of father names his son Dick Trickle Did he name him after his own current medical condition?

@TradeCNBC 😂

Because Dick Trickle was a dude.
