Animals and sport have a difficult and bloody past. But there is one humble creature that defies the barbaric and brutal history of bloodsports to lift himself to cult hero status in the animal kingdom without a devastating death. That’s Jocko Flocko.

Jocko is first and foremost the ONLY copilot to ever compete in NASCAR, and even wilder he’s the only one to ever win a race, but the wildest part is that he was a monkey.

So strap in, start your engines, and prepare for some monkey business as we relive the fantastical tale of a monkey that competed in eight NASCAR races, the moonshining family that help create the sport, and talk smack to Canadians on our journey to find the wildest story from the world of sport.
