Dog-Leg Story

Item #5069

(March, 1989) Dog-Leg is named for the sharpest bend on a race track. This turn is the most dangerous part of a race course, but Dog-Leg is beaming because he found a coin that says, “This is My Lucky Day,” and he knows he’ll make it around the curve (unlike his friend Speedy!). He’s holding a spare tire because it takes more than luck to finish a race. Drivers also need skill, a good crew, and  plenty of spare parts. Behind Dog-Leg is a prune pit, in case he needs to make a pit stop. He’s wearing a hard hat and acorn earmuffs, for safety and noise protection. Dog-Leg is too small to enter a NASCAR race, but his license plate confirms that he drives a GNICE CAR.
