In our second segment, we're going to dig into the October 25, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene AGAIN. Alan Kulwicki wins the second race of his Winston Cup career at Rockingham after Kyle Petty's engine doesn't fare nearly as well as it had that spring at the track. Steve Grissom passes Mark Martin to score the win in Rockingham's Busch Series race that weekend.

We then dig into the September 17, 1981 issue of Grand National Scene Benny Parsons wins on a terribly hot and humid day at Richmond, after pole-sitter Mark Martin has trouble getting his car started as the field rolls off pit road to start the race.
