He created the Jet-Impala with his crew at Indy Boys Inc. and his lovely 29-year old wife Therese (we can't help but picture Cal Naughton Jr. and Carley Bobby when we get a see these two). The car is based on a (probably made up) urban legend about a hillbilly farmer who crashed his rocket-propelled car into the side of a mountain. Stender said of his creation, "We created the car as a bit of fun, it's a comedy act we do at the motorsport events we go to. We tell the audience we found the engine the day before and make it look like the missile is just tied onto the car with a bit of rope. It looks like it's going to blow up at any minute."
