If you look carefully enough, you will see some 40 four-by-six-inch ads for oil, gas, rubber, and equipment crammed onto the front fenders of these racing machines.

But in this case, by the time emergency cleanup crews arrived, the Monongahela's turbulent waters had begun to break up the oil slick and disperse it through the river's depth. The water and oil were further mixed as they tumbled over + locks and dams on the Monongahela and Ohio...
