• A Yenko Mechanic Shares Tales from Inside the Shop (hagerty.com) — A former mechanic from Don Yenko's famed Chevrolet dealership in Canonsburg shares detailed memories of building legendary high-performance Chevys and Corvair Stingers that put this small Western Pennsylvania shop on the national racing map. He reflects on long days in cramped bays, road-racing success at Daytona and Sebring, and how those years still shape the work he quietly continues in a nearby McMurray garage.
