	Johnny Rutherford: Just call me “Coach” (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Rutherford, who hails from the Lone Star State, concedes that “at the close competitive speeds we’re racing, we’re bound to have things happen so unfortunately as in all of racing; it’s a matter of closing the barn door before the horse gets out”.
		This is where Rutherford’s tone changes to one of passion, pride and firm resolve and where one gets a clear indication that Rutherford feels he has personally accomplished a significant good through his role in this effort.
		However in Johnny Rutherford’s case in particular, he gets to do ONE more thing outside of his coaching that he enjoys tremendously: driving the pace car at all of the races.

		J.R. Rutherford was in only his fourth season of racing when he first drove at the track where he would make his name.
		Rutherford missed a chance to win three consecutive 500s when the 1975 race was stopped by rain after 174 laps with his McLaren running second-within a minute of winner Bobby Unser's Eagle-but benefited from similar circumstances the next year to collect his second 500 win.
		To that victory, he added four others to secure the 1980 National Championship, but Rutherford and Hall stuck with the Chapparal about a season too long-winning only the '81 season opener at Phoenix-and for 1983 Johnny jumped to Pat Patrick's team to partner old foe Gordon Johncock.
