At 50 years old, Dolly Parton finds herself in the same situation as other veteran country perfomers, shunned by radio programmers who fill their air time with younger performers and newer names. Her new album, “Treasures,” may mark the last time she tries to appeal to the programmers. “If I don’t get some play even with this...then I’ll realize that I’m not wanted in country music,” she said. Parton is shown during an interview in Nashville, Aug. 15, 1996. (AP Photo/Mark Humprhey)

It’s a confident girl that isn’t embarrassed to flash pit stains at a camera.

Didn’t an engine/clutch/transmission/differential explosion seriously injure him, leading to the driver moving to the front of the engine for awhile?

I believe that to be a correct statement. Big Daddy sat in front of the engine in later versions of the dragster.
