Don Garlits, the “Father of Drag Racing,” was the first to break 170, 180, 200, 240, 250, and 270 MPH marks in the quarter mile, but his desire to give God the glory is what grabbed the headlines. A cross and the words, “God Is Love” on his car lost him a $75,000 sponsorship deal and earned scorn from fellow racers, who said, “He’s just looking for a Big Daddy sponsor in the sky!”
That car won him over $600,000. Find out the reason for “Big Daddy” Don Garlits’ success in this fascinating story with Bruce Fjarli.
