Record producer
1970s1975InterviewRareyoutube

Hello to all you drunks out there. Jabe Thomas had a funny interview after blowing an engine at Rockingham in March 1975. His charming Southern drawl and funny lines left Ned Jarrett speechless at times. From the Universal Racing Network. Jabe Thomas was one of NASCAR's longtime independent drivers. His career stretched from 1965 to 1978 and included 77 top-10 finishes. The popular Virginia driver was known for his funny attitude, his many pranks, and his optimism despite a lack of money to compete with the leaders. In 1972, a record producer arranged for Thomas to record a comedy album about auto racing and he appeared on HeeHaw. The album was never released, but his natural humor is heard in this funny interview.
