There will never be another Bill Doner.

Arguably drag racing's most prolific, successful and edgy promoter Doner made his drag races the quality legends from which creates legends.

The master of drag racing's 64 Funny Car events as well as the racy Fox Hunts, Doner once owned the entire west coast of match race and drag racing's independent shows; promoting strips from Orange County to Seattle and beyond.  

In this episode of LEGENDS: THE SERIES, CompetitionPlus.tv takes a look behind the scenes of what made Doner tick, the outlandish promotions and what led him to retire from his breakneck schedule in 1979.

There are cameo appearances from drag racing's dynamic duo Don Prudhomme and Tom McEwen, as well as Gary Densham and Steve Gibbs. There are priceless clips from the legendary Bill Doner Roast.
