i vaguely remember the car, but i thought for some reason rutherford cashed in some years back. i need a mind or memory infusion ! glad there is still one more legend alive ! i sure didn't recognize him. where are my glasses ?
Rutherford never drove the Hard Chrome car. He was just at the induction ceremony. Al Unser was supposed to be there, but bad weather forced him to cancel. Rutherford did have a bad crash in a sprint car some years ago that caused multiple breaks in both his arms ( no arm restraints at the time and the roll over had his arms outside the roll cage). Still looks pretty good at 76 though. I'm still in recovery after 3 days of indoor racing at the Chili Bowl.
