Growing up in a racing household, in the shadows of Daytona International Speedway, Tony began working on his father Bo Gibson's cars at an early age. Tony's older brothers Mark and Pepe also began racing at local strongholds like New Smyrna and Jacksonville and found lots of success at the late model level. Tony explains that Mark's career advancing into the ARCA and Busch Grand National ranks is what helped get his foot in the door of the NASCAR world. And before long he moved from his family home in Florida to North Carolina to work with Norman Negre -- It was there that Tony made Alan Kulwicki's acquaintance. Eventually he would follow Alan, from renting part of the Negre shop, to his own AK Racing outfit, where he'd work for several years. Tony talks about the challenges of working with Alan and the major triumph of winning the 1992 NASCAR Cup Championship as an independent team. He also opens up about the tragic plane crash that claimed Alan's life and how it changed the culture of the team and NASCAR garage forever. Tony would leave for Georgia, working with Bill Elliott for a time before reuniting with Ray Evernham at Hendrick Motorsports at the famed 24 team. Dale and Tony also discuss his years spent at Dale Earnhardt Inc., Stewart-Haas Racing and his current position at HMS working at Hendrick Tech Solutions.Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reunites with longtime motorsports fan favorite Kasey Kahne to learn about what he has been up to since his last appearance on the Download in 2018. After making the difficult decision to step away from NASCAR Cup racing later that season due to health reasons stemming from dehydration, Kasey has reemerged as a full-time sprint car racer in the last few years, competing with the World of Outlaws and High Limit Sprint Car Series. Kasey remains active in the NASCAR peripheral though, as he was named one of NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023 and he recently announced he'll be returning to Xfinity Series competition with Richard Childress Racing at Rockingham this year. Kasey explains to Dale how the deal came together through Keith Rodden and partners like Rick Hendrick and Mike Curb.

The guys also discuss on-track feuds, head injuries, car safety,y and Kasey's path to NASCAR stardom. 

On May 2, 1982, the green flag flew for the NASCAR Winston 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, and among a grid of legends like Dale Earnhardt, Bill Elliott, Benny Parsons, and more was a mystery racer no one had ever heard of before: L. W. Wright. Wright managed to nab a competition license, a race car, and some positive press, but there was just one problem. He wasn't a race car driver. He was a conman with a big dream and studied confidence so strong that no one much questioned this stranger. At least, not until his checks started bouncing.  Today, we're digging into the story of L. W. Wright, the NASCAR driver who never existed.

After a chat with NASCAR Mavericks authors Herb Branham and Holly Cain, Ken Ragan talks about coming back from serious injury and then reconsidering his place in the sport after ANOTHER devastating crash.  Ken then discusses his relationship with Tim Richmond, who was slated to drive Ken's car in the 1988 edition of the Busch Clash. We then dig into the May 15, 1985 issue of Grand National Scene. It's a superspeedway in 1985 … who do you THINK won that week's Winston Cup event? If you're thinking Bill Elliott, you would be absolutely correct … but he DID have to overcome a handful of problems before the halfway point in order to set sail in the FINAL couple hundred miles.

After a heartfelt tribute to Gary McCredie, the founding editor of Grand National/Winston Cup Scene , we consider Mike Trower's resume … SEVENTY-THREE points wins with Jeff Gordon, Dale Jarrett and Jimmie Johnson and FIVE Cup championships.   That's extraordinarily rarified air … and he did it as the Ultimate WEEKEND Warrior.   In the first of what will be three installments of our interview, Mike talks about his humble beginnings in the sport with Helen Rae and Dave Marcis, the schedule he had to keep between the race track and his full-time job with Duke Energy and the evolution of what it took to compete … and survive … on pit road. We then take a deep dive into the November 1, 1984 issue of Grand National Scene.   There's a big multicar crash, a flip and one heck of a finish between Bill Elliott and Harry Gant in the Winston Cup event at Rockingham.    The weekend is a sad one for Sam Ard, his friends and family after he was involved in a terrible crash that ended his driving career. This issue also features a story on Junior Johnson and his influence up and down pit road.   NOTE: This show is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.   Be sure to check out the latest and greatest stories from the world of NASCAR at dailydownforce.com!

Related Trivia: After more than a decade at the top of NASCAR, Andrews switched to sports cars—he's currently lead engineer for Vasser Sullivan's championship-winning IMSA GTD Lexus coupes.  Related Trivia Part Two, Badass Two-Lane Camry Edition: This episode's guest once made a NASCAR Cup-spec Toyota Camry street-legal and drove it around suburban North Carolina.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The audio quality of the David Smith interview in this episode is not up to our usual standards. We feel the importance of preserving David's story outweighs those imperfections.  Faith was a part of who legendary Richard Childress Racing jackman David Smith was, and that fact comes through in this 1996 interview. Give it a listen ... and be taken straight to church! We then tackle the May 5, 1988 issue of Grand National Scene.   Phil Parsons wins the first and only race of his Winston Cup career at Talladega. His crew chief Andy Petree told us once upon a time that the car Phil was driving that day was … special.   Michael Waltrip endures a wreck that day that leaves him very groggily walking across the track, with the rest of the field not too awfully far away and headed in his direction.   AJ Foyt gets hammered with a suspension and fine after showing out on pit road after being penalized a lap. During qualifying, Bill Elliott's string of six straight Talladega pole positions is broken by Davey Allison.   Tim Richmond files a $20 million lawsuit against NASCAR.    Scene tries to answer a question for the ages … is it SterLIN or SterLING Marlin? Gene Granger digs into the life and times of LeeRoy Yarbrough. There's an in-depth article on Richard Childress Racing jackman David Smith.    Finally … we've got Dale Earnhardt stories involving stolen souvenirs, whipped-cream pies, chickens, bulls and business trips.

In the second installment of our interview, Dan Elliott talks about the polar opposite reactions he had to Melling Racing's skyrocketing fame and success in the mid-1980s. Let's just say it was the best of times and it was the worst of times.   He also discusses Darrell Waltrip's mind games and a disastrous pit stop at Riverside.    We then dive into the November 12, 1987 issue of Grand National Scene.   Three members of Bill Elliott's pit crew receive serious injuries … and Dan Elliott winds up bruised and sore … as the result of an accident on pit road at Riverside.    Rusty Wallace outlasts Geoff Bodine and Dale Earnhardt to win the event, despite one of the most iconic moves of Dale's career. Old Guard Benny Parsons and Richard Petty have good days, while team owner Rick Hendrick gets a turn behind the wheel.   Finally, Mark Martin reacts to a dream ride with Roush Racing.

We get things started off this week with a stunning find ... Rick's old mini-cassette tapes featuring interviews with a number of long-lost members of the NASCAR community.   Sandy Jones then remembers a team divided at Junior Johnson and Associates, Tim Brewer's jaunt through Ingle Hollow, and parting ways with the team. He remembers his time with Darrell Waltrip and the Tide Ride, their 1989 Daytona 500 win together, and a SHORT-lived stint with DW's own operation.    We then dig into the December 5, 1985 edition of Grand National Scene.   Bill Elliott … and NOT Darrell Waltrip … is named Driver of the Year. Bobby Allison was unhappy with a two-car situation at DiGard … so he leaves and JOINS a two-car operation with the Stavola Brothers.   Rusty Wallace makes the move from Cliff Stewart to Blue Max. There's a Sandy Jones photo bio. Mark Martin has a new Cup deal. Michael Waltrip loses his crew chief to a terrible highway accident. Richard Petty undergoes surgery … and … finally … the name Grand National gets dropped from the Cup series and moves to the Busch Grand National division.   NOTE: This show is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.   Be sure to check out the latest and greatest stories from the world of NASCAR at dailydownforce.com!   Interested in The Scene Vault Podcast T-shirts?

Well, Easter buddies, this is one "hot off the presses" as they say. Just recorded this Easter special today just for you. It's time for a Bing Crosby Easter Philco Radio TIme show we haven't played you before. From March 24, 1948 listen as Bing welcomes special Cowboy star, Wild Bill Elliott & the ever charming Peggy Lee. I've seen every Wild Bill Elliott western ever made and I became a fan after the first one. I remember when I first heard this Bing show years ago I had never even heard of or saw a Bill Elliott western. Boy was I missing out on one of the greats. But no more, thanks to DVDs I caught up on all the great Wild Bill's I had never seen. Too bad TV doesn't run them much nowadays, seek them out if you've never seen any. You won't be sorry. For now, here's Bing & Bill & Peggy as we all celebrate Easter together.

Chase, though, is making noises about not participating in a television series meant to drum up new fans for NASCAR. Listen...

In the first of what will be three installments of our conversation, Harold Holly talks about the impact of hanging out with his PeeWee football coach … and more importantly … that coach's race car. Harold breaks into the sport with fellow Alabama native Mickey Gibbs. A break from the sport doesn't last very long, and Harold winds up doing math on the run for the late, great Alan Kulwicki before going to work for Bahari Racing and driver Michael Waltrip. And Harold was RIGHT THERE as Michael endured a REALLY tough month in the spring of 1990. We then tear into the October 11, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Davey Allison isn't quite sure how many laps are left at Charlotte … but goes on to win anyway. Bill Elliott is dominant but falls by the wayside due to a tire issue. Richard Childress Racing crew members escape injury on pit road … and then take matters into their own hands when a tire falls off Dale Earnhardt's RCR Chevrolet. Mark Martin gains SOME ground on Dale in the Winston Cup standings … but he could have gained a WHOLE lot more.

Larry Pollard might not have the most recognizable name we've ever had on the show, but he is a master storyteller after nearly forty years in the NASCAR trenches.Larry moved from his home in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada to go to work for Richard Childress Racing in its first year with halfway decent sponsorship from Piedmont Airlines and with driver Ricky Rudd behind the wheel.After just a year or so at RCR, Larry went to work at Petty Enterprises in 1983 … and before the season even started, was named co-crew chief of the legendary operation.Richard then proceeds to break a nearly two-year winless streak in just the third race with Larry in that role. But if Larry expected to just coast into work at Level Cross the next morning, he had another thing coming!In our second segment, hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid take a peek at the March 17, 1983 issue of Grand National Scene.Richard Petty holds off a hard-charging … but clean … effort by young Bill Elliott to win a rain-split race at Rockingham. Richard and Cale Yarborough … among others … call for races at Rockingham to be shortened from 500 miles to 500 KILOMETERS.Elmo Langley finds himself unloading his hauler after it catches fire on the way home from The Rock, and while Dale Earnhardt wins the Saturday Budweiser Late Model Sportsman event, both Morgan Shepherd AND Bubba Nissen find HUGE trouble in the race.There are rumors that Darrell Waltrip and Junior Johnson are fussing and feuding, and that DW might even be leaving his championship-winning team to form his own Winston Cup operation. Plus … eighteen-year-old Bobby Labonte is featured.NOTE: This show is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.Interested in The Scene Vault Podcast T-shirts?

In this episode Neil and Will touch (and taste) on the heritage of 'spirits' in Appalachia, as well as the craft brew industry that has taken hold in the region.  The guys had the pleasure of sitting down with Oscar Wong, the "Godfather" of Beer in Appalachia and founder of Highland Brewing, the first craft beer brewery in the "Craft Beer Capital of America."  Aside from the beer, they discuss the economic impact it has had on the region.  Oscar explains how it all started, what the future holds for the local brewery and how he will forever be Appalachian.  Take a listen, you might even hear the guys thoughts (and tastes) on White Lightning, what it was like growing up "dry" and one (or two) references to 'Ol Uncle Popcorn.  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz(s) of the week: Tim Smith's Climax Moonshine; Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine; Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon; Troy and Sons Platinum; Stillhouse Clear Corn Whiskey; Bill Elliott's Moonshine; George Dickel White Corn Whisky; and Popcorn Sutton's Tennessee White Whiskey!    Highland Brewing: www.highlandbrewing.com  Tim Smith's Climax moonshine: www.timsmithspirits.com  Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine: www.olesmoky.com  Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon: www.juniorsmidnightmoon.com   Troy & Sons Platinum: www.ashevilledistilling.com  Stillhouse Clear Corn Whiskey: www.stillhouse.com  Bill Elliott's Moonshine: www.dawsonvillemoonshinedistillery.com  George Dickel White Corn Whisky: www.georgedickel.com  Popcorn Sutton's Tennessee White Whiskey: www.popcornsutton.com 

Join Dave and Bill Elliott, the President and CEO at the Wisconsin Hotel & Lodging Association, as they discuss the importance of being involved in an association. They talk about the many advantages that being a part of an association encompasses, including advocacy, resources, education and much more. Dave and Bill also talk about having to pivot if needed during a rough economic time and the importance of having a contingency plan.

This week's show begins with a simple challenge ... pay it forward. Do something nice for someone else, without any expectation of receiving anything in return. Will Lind got his start in the sport working with James Hylton, but he went on to have a LONG and successful career with Richard Childress Racing and was probably best known for changing rear tires on Dale Earnhardt's Flying Aces/Junkyard Dogs pit crews of the late 1980s and early 90s.This week, Will talks about his hardcore early days in the sport, when he went to GREAT lengths to carve out a place for himself in the garage, his beginnings with RCR and the Dale Earnhardt he knew away from the track.The September 2, 1982 issue of Grand National Scene marked a fairly significant milestone in the publication's history. It was Scene's first issue with a standard tabloid size, rather than the folded, two-cover format it had used since its very first issue back in the spring of 1977.In the pages of that week's issue, it wasn't exactly breaking news that Darrell Waltrip won at Bristol. This was his fourth in a row there, but it wasn't exactly easy … and surprise of all surprises … there was just a wee little bit of controversy that night.Bobby Allison and Harry Gant weren't exactly happy with NASCAR or Darrell Waltrip. Dave Marcis wasn't happy with Terry Labonte, and Terry Labonte AND Billy Hagan weren't happy with Dave.After reading co-host Steve Waid's column, Jimmy Means probably wasn't very happy either after being made fun of for being so skinny. And finally … Bill Elliott … yes, THAT Bill Elliott got downright chatty with Gene Granger about the never-ending battle between Ford and General Motors, his season to date and safety.NOTE: This podcast is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owners of the Scene brand.Please consider supporting our show financially via: www.patreon.com/thescenevaultpodcastwww.paypal.me/thescenevaultpodcastwww.venmo.com/thescenevaultpodcast
