In the third and final installment of our interview with Tony Liberati, Rambo goes to victory lane with Jimmie Johnson … but NOT before the future NASCAR Hall of Famer has already agreed to go Winston Cup racing with Hendrick Motorsports. Tony sticks with Herzog Motorsports and wins another couple of races with Todd Bodine, before economics forces the team to shut its doors while still in the hunt for the Busch Series championship. We then take a deep dive into the July 19, 2001 issue of Winston Cup Scene. There was a seismic fallout from Jimmy Spencer's comments that Dale Earnhardt Jr's recent Daytona win was somehow fixed and Tony Stewart was feeling the heat after HIS Daytona tirade. And … oh yeah … by the way … Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson won at Chicagoland. NOTE: This show is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.

In 1994, Jeff Gordon won his first race in NASCAR's signature series, taking the checkered flag at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway at age 22. Gordon would win 92 more times after that, becoming racing royalty and a NASCAR hall of famer. Now he's our latest subject of “Sports Legends of the Carolinas,” the multimedia project in which we interview sports stars about their journeys to iconic status and their struggles along the way. Somehow, Gordon is 51 years old. He's been a household name in NASCAR for the past three decades. After a six-year stint in the TV broadcast booth, he now works as vice chairman at Hendrick Motorsports, the place where he launched his own career in the sport. He and his family live in Charlotte. In his racing prime, Gordon turned into such a crossover star that he became the first NASCAR driver to ever host “Saturday Night Live.” In this interview, which we conducted in his office at Hendrick Motorsports, he talked about his favorite character from that SNL appearance, as well as teaching his daughter how to drive, his early days as a breakdancer (yes, seriously) and his rivalry with Dale Earnhardt Sr. Sports Legends of the Carolinas is hosted by Scott Fowler. It's produced by Loumay Alesali, Jeff Siner and Kata Stevens. For lots more on the show, visit https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sportslegends. Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys go remote to Ace Speedway in North Carolina as the SMART Modified series heats back up for its final stretch to the 2023 SMART Championship. Listen to them as they tape the first part of the episode in Hermie's Chevy Tahoe (from Boyd Chevrolet, of course), talking about the current state of national politics and the upcoming Presidential election in 2024. Then Sadler, the Senator and Shep venture inside the historic short track to take up residence in their Sadler/Stanley Racing Hauler to interview some of the most famous personalities in the NASCAR(r) racing industry. First, they sit down and have some laughs with their SSR driver and NASCAR Hall of Famer (and one of NASCAR's 75 greatest drivers of all time) Bobby Labonte! Then, when Bobby has to run to the SMART Modified Driver's meeting, Hermie grabs one of the all-time greats of racing, legend Tommy Baldwin to have some more laughs with the fellas, and make sure you listen as Tommy poignantly discusses his latest fight for victory -- against cancer. And finally, Hermie and Bill are able to corral their other driver, NASCAR great (and another one of those NASCAR 75 greatest drivers of all time), recent Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) Champion Ryan Newman, to talk all things racing as they have a good laugh over them being his so-called "bosses." Just like Larry The Cable Guy says in the intro, "these guys are good!"

This week in the first of what will be two installments of our interview, we talk to NASCAR Hall of Famer and NASCAR 75 driver Matt Kenseth. Matt discusses going up against rival Robbie Reiser in and around their homes in Wisconsin, and then just a few short years later joining forces in the Busch Series. That deal led to Matt and the team's first Busch Series win at Rockingham, a victory that Matt to this day calls the biggest of his career. Very early on in his Busch Series career, Matt was befriended by Winston Cup superstar Mark Martin. That relationship led to help from … and a Winston Cup deal with … team owner Jack Roush. Finally, Matt recalls his competitive relationship with Dale Earnhardt Jr. In our second segment, we dive into the February 26, 1998 issue Winston Cup Scene.  Jeff Gordon overcomes an ill-handling Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to win at Rockingham, after Rick Mast starts from the pole. Matt Kenseth scores the first win of his BUSCH SERIES career, while the NASCAR world is still basking in the glow of Dale Earnhardt and Larry McReynolds' Daytona 500 victory just the week before.

Sports Legends of the Carolinas

In 1994, Jeff Gordon won his first race in NASCAR's signature series, taking the checkered flag at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway at age 22. Gordon would win 92 more times after that, becoming racing royalty and a NASCAR hall of famer. Now he's our latest subject of “Sports Legends of the Carolinas,” the multimedia project in which we interview sports stars about their journeys to iconic status and their struggles along the way. Somehow, Gordon is 51 years old. He's been a household name in NASCAR for the past three decades. After a six-year stint in the TV broadcast booth, he now works as vice chairman at Hendrick Motorsports, the place where he launched his own career in the sport. He and his family live in Charlotte. In his racing prime, Gordon turned into such a crossover star that he became the first NASCAR driver to ever host “Saturday Night Live.” In this interview, which we conducted in his office at Hendrick Motorsports, he talked about his favorite character from that SNL appearance, as well as teaching his daughter how to drive, his early days as a breakdancer (yes, seriously) and his rivalry with Dale Earnhardt Sr. Sports Legends of the Carolinas is hosted by Scott Fowler. It's produced by Loumay Alesali, Jeff Siner and Kata Stevens. McClatchy's director of audio is Davin Coburn. For lots more on the show, visit https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sportslegends.

Lawson also discusses his road to Front Row Motorsports and becoming a shot caller in the Truck Series, the personal satisfaction it gave him to see Gilliland advance to the Cup Series with FRM and when he knew that they'd have a legitimate shot at winning the 2022 series title.

He's not just a humble man with gray hair, an old Goodyear hat, and red suspenders, Will Cronkrite is a former NASCAR crew chief and car owner full of amazing stories that Dale Earnhardt Jr. wants the world to hear. His #96 car gave Dale Earnhardt what many consider to be his big break in NASCAR and Dale Jr. gets the low-down on how it all happened. As a "scrawny kid" he stood in his father's truck at Cronkrites shop as they readied the car for the World 600, a part of Dale Jr.'s life that Will brings to life in this fascinating conversation. The story was so much more! How did Willy T. Ribbs and Humpy Wheeler help create a chance that would springboard The Intimidator's career? Cronkrite details the early days of a father and NASCAR Hall of Famer.Cronkrite's life changed with the tragic death of his wife and children. It was at this moment that everything pivoted to Auto Racing. He took his intense work ethic and desire from the cornfields of Ohio, to Indianapolis, and eventually the top-ranks of NASCAR. Along the way, he worked with legendary drivers like Benny Parsons, David Pearson, Donnie Allison, Mark Martin, Ricky Rudd, and more. He also worked around some characters, like tough Minnesotan Joe Frasson. Cronkrite shares a crash story for the ages with Frasson, bloodied, insisting on Cronkrite taping his hand to the steering wheel.Before he arrived in the southern stock car world, Cronkrite experienced a different side of racing in the Chicagoland area. He reveals how things were different in racing up there and how he was rewarded with diamonds for good performance. He also tells the tale of a gruesome fight that led to jail time and the fear of what was to happen when he was sprung by a "connected" individual involved in the racing operation. It's a story you have to hear to believe.Cronkrite talks about many racing topics from DiGard Racing, to working with a gutsy racing pioneer named Janet Guthrie. He also shares stories from his months working on the hit Burt Reynolds movie Stroker Ace, including when Dale Sr. shook down the Chicken Pit Special. The colorful Cronkrite tells a story about actress Loni Anderson and a lucky penny that he still has to this day.Before bringing in Cronkrite, Dale and co-host Mike Davis have an open discussion about how "me" turns to "we" after marriage.
