My dad was BLESSED to be with Sunoco and allowed to work in the pits in his "spare time" for Roger Penske on the Mark Donahue team when time permitted. This was an exciting time in my childhood. Dad was not on this video, but the Pride he had for the Penske Team, Sunoco and Mark Donahue is still alive in my heart. I remember sitting in a trailer on the floor for a few hours during a really bad thunderstorm with Mark Donahue-he was very kind to me, one of his biggest fans.

Music plays....singing begins...."I know a man, his name is Mark, he drives a shiny car. It's red and white, and blue like Mark. It's a pretty shiny car." LOL!!!! That has to be some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard. Not to take away from the the awesomeness of the AMC Javelin Trans Am racing legend though... : P

@Northstar96sc I have a book from Pete Lyons "Can-Am".
He told that Mark Donohue was also known as "Captain Nice"
He was a great guy.
