Let's hope there is a statute of limitations on this one, because Kyle Petty and Mike Beam are going to need it.
The year was 1981. Kyle Petty and crew chief Mike Beam were tasked with driving their race hauler from Texas World Speedway to their shop in North Carolina. What happens next is straight out of the movie Smokie and the Bandit.
Before making their run back to Petty Enterprises, Petty and Beam come in possession of hundreds of cases of Texas' own "Lone Star Beer." And as Kyle Petty put it, "You can't drink profit." But you can haul it. And a lot of it.
Kyle Petty and Mike Beam join host Rick Houston to recap a story you have to hear straight from the source. Was it highly illegal? Yes. Did they get caught? You'll just have to find out yourself.
