Where one was the other usually wasn't far away. And, for one of drag racing's most storied public relations tandems, this tendency hasn't changed much.

There were no manuals, nor were there any mentors when Steve Earwood and Dave Densmore took over the NHRA's Press and Publicity Department back in 1975.

In this episode of Legends: The Series, learn how they together, amidst a bad decision or five, established a solid foundation for drag racing's presentation in the media.
