Official bio
"Believe it or not Crusty Rotor was actually a vinyl top salesman before the makers of Vinyl Toupee, Fine Vinyl Top in a Car put him out of business! While working out his frustration in the gym he realized he had an amazing gift for driving long, hard, grueling distances without feeling even the slightest burnout. As luck would have it the makers of Vinyl Toupee, Vinyl Top in a Can were fronting cash for a Piston Cup team. Crusty made the biggest sell of his life landing the job and all the spray-on toupee his roof could sport."[1]
