Send us a textFrom sleeping peacefully under loudspeakers at dirt tracks as a baby to witnessing Richard Petty's historic 200th victory with President Reagan in attendance, Deb Williams has lived and breathed motorsports her entire life. Now in her fourth decade as a motorsports journalist, Williams takes us on a captivating journey from her humble beginnings in a North Carolina mill town to becoming the first female to cover NASCAR for an international wire service.The passion that drove a 13-year-old girl to declare she would become a motorsports writer after spotting statistical errors in her local newspaper's racing coverage has never diminished. Williams shares colorful anecdotes from an era when racing coverage was built on personal relationships – times when journalists, drivers, and team members would gather at local restaurants after races, forging bonds that transcended professional obligations. Her stories of interviewing legends like Richard Petty (first as a starstruck fan, later as a professional) and dining with Mario Andretti and the Italian ambassador offer a glimpse into racing's rich human tapestry.As president of the National Motorsports Press Association and a contributing editor for AutoWeek.com, Williams continues to shape racing journalism while teaching the next generation at Appalachian State University. Her perspective on how the sport's coverage has evolved – from the days when "everybody knew somebody on every race team" to today's more structured media environment – highlights what's been gained and lost as racing has grown into a national phenomenon.Williams' story isn't just about motorsports; it's about perseverance, breaking barriers, and the power of community. In a world increasingly dominated by digital interactions, her emphasis on human connection and the racing family where "you know who's got your back" resonates more powerfully than ever. Whether you're a die-hard racing fan or simply appreciate stories of passion pursued against all odds, Williams' journey reminds us that behind every headline are the people who make the sport what it is.Join the conversation about how motorsports journalism has evolved by sharing your thoughts on what we've gained – and perhaps lost – in racing's transformation over these past four decades.Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworkandpodcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ X: https://x.com/IWMANation FACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell
Esto es un extracto de Noticias del Motor edición verano que se emite cada miércoles de julio y agosto en Onda Cero. Descubre las grandes Leyendas del Motorsport ¿Cuál es la tuya? Hoy no vamos a hablar de conceptos nuevos ni de las últimas novedades… hoy vamos a mirar hacia atrás. Porque para entender lo que somos como aficionados, hay que recordar a los que lo hicieron todo posible: las leyendas. Pilotos que marcaron épocas, que cambiaron el juego y que dejaron huella tanto en el automovilismo como en el motociclismo. Así que en los próximos 10 minutos, vamos a hacer un pequeño viaje por la historia a través de nombres que ya son eternos. Desde Fangio hasta Márquez, de Senna a Rossi, pasando por Richard Petty en NASCAR o Sébastien Loeb en los rallies. Esto va por ellos. Leyendas de la F1 Juan Manuel Fangio Años 50 → 5 títulos con 4 equipos diferentes Maestro de la adaptación, elegancia pura Corredor en tiempos donde el riesgo era extremo Schumacher decía: “Fangio es el mejor de todos los tiempos” Ayrton Senna Talento descomunal, carisma y espiritualidad Mítico bajo lluvia → Donington '93, Mónaco '84 Duelo eterno con Prost Trágico accidente en Imola '94 → convirtió al hombre en leyenda Ídolo más allá del deporte, conexión brutal con la gente Michael Schumacher Dominio absoluto en los 2000 con Ferrari 7 títulos, récords que parecían imposibles Frío, meticuloso, obsesionado con el detalle Revolucionó la preparación física y la cultura de equipo Icono de una era, marcó a una generación Lewis Hamilton Estadísticamente el más exitoso: poles, victorias, podios 7 títulos → iguala a Schumacher Figura mediática y activista, va más allá del deporte Estilo agresivo pero elegante, piloto muy técnico Influencia fuera de la pista: moda, derechos civiles, sostenibilidad Y si hablamos de leyendas en la Fórmula 1… ¿qué pasa con las motos? Porque ahí también hay nombres que han hecho historia. Leyendas del motociclismo Giacomo Agostini Piloto con más títulos mundiales: 15 campeonatos, 122 victorias Dominó los 60 y 70 con MV Agusta y Yamaha Técnica, elegancia y consistencia brutal Leyenda absoluta antes de la era moderna del motociclismo Valentino Rossi Ídolo intergeneracional: 9 títulos, 7 en MotoGP Más que un piloto → showman, carisma, conexión con los fans Duelo eterno con Biaggi, Gibernau, Stoner, Lorenzo, Márquez... Cambió la forma de entender MotoGP a nivel global Siguió compitiendo hasta los 42 años Marc Márquez Talento precoz: campeón de MotoGP con solo 20 años Estilo agresivo, control del límite como nadie 8 títulos, 6 en la categoría reina Capaz de ganar con lesiones, moto inferior, en condiciones extremas Marcó la última gran era dominante de Honda Casey Stoner Solo 2 títulos (2007, 2011), pero velocidad sobrenatural Ganó con Ducati y Honda, domador de motos difíciles Se retiró joven → talento puro, sin apego a la fama Respetado incluso por rivales que no congeniaban con él Dame un bonus extra que hay mapas pilotos top Álex Crivillé: Primer español campeón del mundo en 500cc (1999). Abrió el camino para toda una generación. Mick Doohan: Dominador absoluto en los 90 con Honda. 5 títulos consecutivos, antesala del dominio australiano. Dani Pedrosa: Uno de los pilotos más finos y técnicos de la historia. Nunca ganó MotoGP, pero fue clave en la evolución de las motos y respetado por todos. Jorge Lorenzo: 3 títulos de MotoGP, rival directo de Rossi y Márquez. Pilotaje limpio, mentalidad de acero, campeón en dos eras distintas.
It's another pit stop into the rich history of NASCAR racing this week, with a look back at the circuit's greatest rivalry — the legendary driving battle between Richard Petty and David Pearson that shaped the sport forever. With the help of veteran motorsports journalist Mike Hembree's new book, "Petty vs. Pearson: The Rivalry That Shaped NASCAR," we explore how these two titans transformed racing from a regional spectacle into an American sports passion during the late 1960s and the bulk of the 1970s. Discover the contrasting styles that made their frequent track duels electric: "The King's" relentless aggression versus "The Silver Fox's" calculated patience. We'll revisit their most jaw-dropping moments, including the wild finish at the 1976 Daytona 500 where both drivers crashed on the final lap, and examine how their incredible 63 head-to-head 1st/2nd-place finishes created the stuff of true NASCAR legend. Learn how Petty's record-breaking 200 wins and seven championships stacked up against Pearson's incredible 18.3% winning percentage in just 574 starts. And, beyond the statistics, we explore Petty's and Pearson's mutual respect for each other and the friendship that transcended their fierce competition on the track — a rivalry that elevated NASCAR during its most transformative, increasingly televised era.

Dale Earnhardt Jr welcomes in his father's championship-winning crew chief Doug Richert for a special edition of the Dale Jr Download. On the heels of the Becoming Earnhardt: 1980 series, the two dive into Dale Earnhardt's sophomore season & first Cup Championship. Doug was only 20 years old at the time, but he has plenty of stories to tell. Doug's relationship with Dale Earnhardt went beyond the race track, as he shares stories of the two of them spending time waterskiing on the lake in between race weekends. The #2 team started the season swinging, winning the Busch Clash in Daytona. From there, the team won races at Atlanta & Bristol and were early contenders for the Winston Cup Championship. In the middle of the season, Crew Chief Jake Elder leaves the team, suddenly putting Doug in charge. He talks about the abrupt transition to the Crew Chief role and what challenges he and the team faced. Dale and Doug discuss the #2 team's main opponents and how they weren't afraid to ruffle feathers along the way. Doug also shares the story of winning the championship at Ontario and why he got in trouble for taking an unauthorized victory lap in Dale's car.

Dale Earnhardt has been leading the NASCAR Cup season points for most of 1980, but it hasn't been smooth sailing. In fact, stock car legends Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, and Cale Yarborough have all been within striking distance at one point or another, but attrition has kept the field even. Engine failures, crashes, injuries, and team disharmony have plagued everyone in the Cup garage, and it appears the 1980 crown will come down to whoever can manage the chaos best. And thanks to Jake Elder's untimely departure, Dale has to depend on a young, inexperienced, newly promoted Doug Richert to help keep things on track.As the season wages on, the championship contest really comes down to two: Dale and Cale. The two can't stop finding each other on track, and things are getting tense. This will be Dale's first real taste at a Cup series rivalry, and neither driver is willing to back down. Dale is going to again pick up back-to-back wins, including a triumphant hometown victory in Charlotte, but a disastrous showing in Rockingham allows Cale to close in as the season winds to a close.
Kenny and Crash share the legend of motorsports pioneer "Big Daddy" Don Garlits. Hear the astounding story about how he revolutionized drag racing, why he believes Richard Petty is the epitome of the American Dream, and even about aliens, in one of the greatest sit downs in SpeedFreaks 25-year history.
Imagine being a sophomore, leading the NASCAR points with Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarborough breathing down your neck. That was Dale Earnhardt's reality in May of 1980. He and the Osterlund Team are fresh off back-to-back wins in hot pursuit of more trophies, but the competition is heating up. The young outfit gets a lesson in stock car excellence from Buddy Baker and Waddell Wilson, as Dale has a rematch with the Gray Ghost at Talladega. After a quiet race at Nashville and an engine failure at Dover, things begin boiling over in the 2-car's garage.As the Cup Series returns home for World 600 weekend, there was a tension you could cut with a knife between team management and legendary crew chief Jake Elder. The decision is made to turn their focus away from their Cup program to run the Mello Yello 300 Late Model Sportsman race, and Jake declares he's had enough. To make matters worse, the weekend proves disastrous when a cut tire dashes Dale's hopes of a hometown victory and slashes his points lead in half. The next day, Dale and the Osterlund team get a harsh reminder of why they call Jake Elder: “Suitcase”.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes former Cup Series driver & 1978 Karting World Champion Lake Speed to the studio to learn about his path from karts to Cup. Without the support of his parents, Lake had to chase the racing dream on his own, and started a karting business out of his house to fuel the fire. After finding success stateside, Lake ventured to Europe to pursue the ultimate achievement in karting: The World Championships. After a few embarrassing first attempts racing internationally, Lake finally won it all in 1978, beating future F1 Champion Ayrton Senna. After achieving the highest honor in the karting world, Lake shares why he wanted to move to NASCAR, and looks back at the moment he busted his ass in his first handful of laps in a Cup car. Lake opens up on his deep connection to faith, and how he learned to trust the inner voice in his head. Once he started trusting that voice, everything changed for him, and he went on to deliver an impressive second place finish in the Daytona 500 and a win at Darlington several years later. Dale & Lake close out the interview by discussing his relief efforts following Davey Allison's passing, his fight with Michael Waltrip, and his experience working with the Motor Racing Outreach. Even at 77 years old, Lake still races. That alone should tell you this is a conversation you have to hear.
Oh no. Matt's gone and done it again.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes NASCAR Truck Series pioneer Jack Sprague to the studio to learn about his humble beginnings in Michigan, and his path to becoming a NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee. After getting his start out of his uncle's junkyard and racing street stocks in Southwest Michigan, Jack found his way into the world of late model racing, eventually taking a job at Port City Racecars. Through the help of his mother and stepfather, Jack made the move to North Carolina and began working with short track fixtures Jay Hedgecock and Rober Hamke while getting his feet planted in the scene. Hamke proved to be a great influence on Jack and taught him about setting up cars and racing technique, leading him to become one of the most successful racers at Concord Speedway and in the Big 10 Series. Later on, Jack became acquainted with Rick Hendrick and became a NASCAR Truck Series regular. His first truck ride came through Pee Wee Griffin, after Gary Balough was incarcerated, and he set out on the 1995 Truck schedule with a shoestring budget. Jack explains how a chance encounter with Hendrick and Tom Cruise at an afternoon test session years before, led to a favor being called in with Hendrick Motorsports to drive the famed 24 Truck. Once in the 24, Jack established one of the most prolific stints in Truck history, winning three championships and 28 races. Dale and Jack discuss his venture into the Xfinity and Cup Series, the struggle of stepping away from the sport, his rivalries over the years and, becoming a Hall of Fame nominee.Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

Part of an ongoing, larger body of research by Dr. Mark D. Howell, and explores the long, complicated, and often controversial relationship between NASCAR (the National Association for Stock Car Automobile Racing) and the American political system. From NASCAR founder “Big Bill” France's campaign support of then-presidential candidate George Wallace, to former NASCAR Grand National driver Tighe Scott's arrest for allegedly attacking police officers during the Capitol Riot on January 6th, 2021, the road to Washington, D.C. has often taken a detour (usually a hard right) through Daytona Beach. Part of this paper looks at NASCAR's connection to various political candidates, both during campaigns and after votes have been counted (and certified). Another section of this presentation examines the use of race cars as campaign promotional “vehicles” over the years. This paper explores the very public and very strategic alliance between political candidates and NASCAR Nation. From Jimmy Carter welcoming Grand National drivers to The White House to Ronald Reagan sharing Kentucky Fried Chicken with Richard Petty, the relationship between stock car racing and politics presents itself as a calculated combination of regional identity and popular culture-driven stereotypes. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introduction and Sponsors 00:21 NASCAR and Politics: An Overview 01:27 Historical Political Connections 02:20 Recent Events and Controversies 04:11 NASCAR's Cultural and Political Influence 05:03 Origins of NASCAR and Political Ideologies 09:09 NASCAR's Evolution and Political Ties 16:04 Modern Political Engagements 21:12 NASCAR's Demographics and Future Challenges 25:51 Electric Vehicles and NASCAR's Future 33:18 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 33:25 Credits and Acknowledgements ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/ Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.

Dale Earnhardt Jr has called it “one of the most fascinating stories in all of Motorsports,” as he sat down with Legendary racer Gary Balough to discuss his life on the track and behind bars.

We will never get enough of DEI's story - a tale of victory, perseverance, and ultimately, demise. The people who spent years there have memories from behind the curtain of the team we once all cheered for, and Ty Norris's interview in 2021 was absolutely a testament to that. From early on in his career, Dale Earnhardt had his eye on hiring Ty Norris, until he finally succeeded in landing him at DEI. Ty shares some of the challenges he faced along the way from both the highest of highs and lowest of lows of the team. He reminisces about his old pal, Dale Earnhardt, and about the life lessons he learned from him along the way - right, wrong, or indifferent. After the Intimidator's untimely death at Daytona, DEI was left without its leader and Ty describes how he dealt with the rising tensions within the company. He eventually reveals his opinion on the only way to have saved the sinking ship which was DEI, which was for Dale Earnhart Jr. to be its leader, which is what his dad would have wanted. An emotional story Ty shares about a father-son moment between Dale Sr. and Dale Jr. furthers that narrative, which Dale Jr. remembers as "the best conversation he and his dad ever had."Ultimately, Ty Norris' time at DEI came to a close, and years later he found himself at the center of one of the most infamous events in NASCAR history - Spingate. He gives us his perspective on the situation surrounding Michael Waltrip Racing at Richmond in 2013 and how he came to terms with the situation following the backlash from NASCAR, the media, and the fans. At the time of recording, Ty had played an integral part in the origins and evolution of Trackhouse Racing, though in recent news, he is now the Chief Business Officer at Kaulig Racing.Ty's interview is one of the rawest, eye-opening conversations that we will rewatch any time we get the chance to. We hope you enjoy it!

We then dig into the April 16, 1987 issue of Grand National Scene. Dale Earnhardt wins at Bristol, but not before he has to come back from a flat tire AND a run-in with Sterling Marlin. Richard Petty finishes second, while Harry Gant gets help from the grand ol' master, Herb Nab on the way to the pole and a top-10 finish that weekend. There's a fantastic feature on Judy Parrott, Buddy's wife, and Jack Ingram feels the heat from the long arm of the law.

We talked last week about some thefts that took place in the Atlanta garage and this week in the third and final installment of our interview with Ken Ragan, it gets even more serious with credit card after credit card getting boosted from team members. This time around, we get a high-stakes foot chase and … well … let's just say some good ol' fashioned frontier justice. Ken also remembers getting out of the sport, a near-miss ARCA win at Atlanta and helping his son David get started in the sport. When then tackle the August 2, 1984 issue of Grand National Scene. Barney Hall calls the shot before Dale Earnhardt "strokes" his way to a victory at Talladega. It turns out to be a bad day for Trevor Boys and James Hylton, while things had BEEN stormy for Robert Yates building engines for Richard Petty and Mike Curb.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with a legendary figure behind the scenes of motorsports, longtime car owner and sponsor Mike Curb. After falling in love with motorsports at an early age through the pages of Motor Trend and National Speed Sport News, Mike made the acquaintance of Cary Agajanian at an early age and began taking in races at the famed Ascot Park. Mike pursued an interest in music and when a song he wrote became a jingle for Honda, he dropped out of college and pursued commercial soundtracking full time. Mike simultaneously developed a recording company and a career in politics at the suggestion of Ronald Reagan, but his love for auto racing remained tried and true. He entered business with Agajanian owning local sprint cars, and the Curb-Agajanian Performance Group was born.Mike's entry into involvement in NASCAR is a fascinating tale that stems from longtime NASCAR executive Les Richter serving as a chairman on his campaign for Lieutenant Governor of California. At Les' request, Mike and his wife attended the 1980 Cup season opener at Riverside as Grand Marshall and it was there that he was propositioned with the idea of becoming a sponsor for Dale Earnhardt. Mike also explains the events that lead to Curb Racing fielding a car for Richard Petty in 1984 and how the famed picture of Ronald Reagan landing at the Daytona 500 came to be. The interview covers Mike's vast involvement in racing today, which includes co-ownership of NASCAR Truck championship winner Ty Majeski, his relationship with Ronald Reagan and his career in the music industry.
This week Dale Earnhardt Jr. has a conversation with a man he thought he'd never get to interview, longtime NASCAR Race Director David Hoots. In this episode, David opens up about how he made decisions in the booth, his thoughts on current NASCAR officiating, including the Austin Dillon penalty, his toughest calls in the booth, and how things ended at NASCAR.That leads to the reason Dale didn't think this interview would happen. He assumed David would be working in the control tower booth for many years to come, and that seemed to be the case until a cluster of NASCAR layoffs in January of 2019. After a run of nearly two decades, stretching back to the fall Rockingham event on the 1988 schedule, David's reign as chief steward for the Cup Series came to an end. The story of how David came to be in the booth starts in a likely place: Bowman Gray Stadium. David explains that his family began taking him to Saturday night races at the famed bullring when he was young, and he caught the racing bug at an early age. He initially took a position scoring cars in trade for free admission to the races, but his fascination with the race cars pushed him to wander into the world of technical inspection. From Bowman Gray, he began working at NASCAR regional events for the Sportsman and Modified divisions before the series were organized into their respective tours. He would stay on with the NASCAR Busch Grand National and the Winston Modified Tour before he caught the eyes and ears of Les Richter, who asked if he'd like to give the NASCAR Cup Series a shot. That day came on October 23, 1988 at Rockingham, where Rusty Wallace brought home his third victory in a row on his way to a second-place points effort. What followed for David Hoots was an illustrious career that saw him become one of the most revered officials in the modern era of NASCAR.21+ and present in North Carolina.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with longtime NASCAR crew chief and former ESPN television analyst Tim Brewer to learn more about his legendary career calling the shots for some of the sport's all-time greats. After growing up within earshot of Bowman Gray Stadium, Tim established himself as a hard worker and found a position as crew chief for Junior Johnson and Associates, helping Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip earn Cup championships in 1978 and 1981 respectively. Tim's work ethic was developed in his early teen years when he left his path of education to join local racer Ernie Shaw in the NASCAR Grand American ranks. Tim had a short stint with Tiny Lund before settling in with fellow Winston Salem native Richard Childress, becoming one of the youngest crew chiefs in NASCAR history at the age of 18. Tim explains that he got hired onto the famed Holly Farms team when Herb Nab vacated the chief position and Junior Johnson made a call to Childress. Tim and Travis Carter came on board in 1978 and helped guide Yarborough to ten wins and a third consecutive Cup season crown. Tim and Dale also discuss his years spent working with Waltrip and what made him leave Johnson's team in 1982 to work for MC Anderson, reuniting with Yarborough. He also details how Raymond Beadle came to NASCAR ownership, creating the Blue Max Racing group with driver Tim Richmond in 1983. Tim talks about his friendship and competition with Dale Earnhardt Sr., his falling out with Junior Johnson in the early 90s, and how he came to be an Emmy-award-winning television analyst after he stepped down from the pit box.
Join Dale Earnhardt Jr. as he sits down with former NASCAR Crew Chief and team owner Travis Carter to discuss his past working with some of the most legendary race car drivers in history. During his two-decade-long time in the sport, he was a championship-winning crew chief with Benny Parsons in 1973 and was Cale Yarborough's crew chief during the iconic 1979 Daytona 500. Over the years, Travis also worked with Bobby Allison, Junior Johnson, and Darrell Waltrip.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes legendary NASCAR Crew Chief Buddy Parrott to the Dirty Mo Media Studio to learn more about the pivotal role he played in some of NASCAR's greatest moments. Growing up in Gastonia, North Carolina, Buddy participated in competitive diving all through high school before finding his way to a race at Birmingham International Raceway on behalf of Huggins Tire Service. Buddy would take a job with the company working as a tire man for their NASCAR events, mounting tires for the entire Cup field on a regular basis. It was through this service that he met the legendary Harry Hyde, and not long after Buddy would approach him for an opportunity to work on his famed K&K Insurance Dodge team. Buddy explains that his time with Harry was invaluable, and he considered him to be his mentor, teaching him everything he knew about race cars and racing setups.Buddy would make the decision to split from the team when Kentuckian Ferrel Harris came to the shop to purchase a racer and some Raymond Fox prepared engines. While working with Harris, Buddy also spent time teaming up with Robert Gee to help prepare his dirt cars, which were chauffeured by none other than Carolina ace Hayward Plyler and a young Dale Earnhardt. Dale Jr. was surprised to learn that Buddy served as crew chief for his father's 1976 Atlanta 500 attempt in a car owned by Johnny Ray, which was famously destroyed in a crash. Buddy would move on to the DiGard Motorsports outfit to team with Darrell Waltrip and take the NASCAR Cup scene by storm in the late 1970s. Listeners can hear all of this, plus more about Buddy's time working on Harry Ranier's Gray Ghost, helping Richard Petty win his 200th win and the 1990 Daytona 500.21+ and present in North Carolina.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is joined by longtime NASCAR competitor and winner of the 1990 Daytona 500 Derrike Cope to learn about his journey from the Pacific Northwest to capturing one of the greatest upset victories in racing history. After growing up with a father who competed in the NHRA Drag Racing ranks, Derrike learned the finer points of being a mechanic working in various speed shops on the West Coast. After his initial focus in life of baseball was curbed by a devastating injury in college, Derrike followed in his father and brother Darren's footsteps and strapped into the driver's seat. After competing in late model races, Derrike would find himself on a path that would lead him to the heart of the fast-growing world of stock cars through the NASCAR Winston West Series. Dale and Derrike give listeners some insight into the former Winston West outfit, which ran from 1971 to 2003 and was essentially its own separate entity sanctioning Cup racing on the West Coast.Derrike explains that Winston West fixture George Jefferson was instrumental in helping Derrike get his first Cup ride, and it was in this series that Derrike found his footing and learned the craft of racing top-speed stock cars before making the journey east. Derrike's initial efforts out east were plagued by financial difficulties, but thanks to a relationship with Purolator he eventually found his way to Bob Whitcomb and they established a state-of-the-art operation with the legendary Buddy Parrott at the helm. This potent combination armed with a Dorton-built engine set sail for Daytona in 1990 and brought home stock car immortality when a dominant Dale Earnhardt Sr. ran over debris on the final lap and slowed. Dale and Derrike recap what he remembers from this memorable week, as well as his time racing for Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, working with StarCom, and what he occupies his time with today. 21+ and present in North Carolina.
