As the story goes NASCAR officials came to his shop to investigate the accusation. Smokey had a cam removed from his engine and proceeded to break it into three pieces giving NASCAR the center piece. He stated that he didn't trust them to inspect the cam he provided. But having only the center section NASCAR officials couldn't discern front to rear of the piece he provided therefore couldn't determine the direction of rotation.
Those were the good ole days.
