Episode 290 -- Tim Fedewa and the War of Words at BACE Motorsports

Episode 290 -- Tim Fedewa and the War of Words at BACE Motorsports

Mention his name today, and most will recognize Tim Fedewa as the longtime spotter for Kevin Harvick. But like so many other folks up in the spotter’s stand, Tim began his career as a driver in and around his home state of Michigan. He eventually moved south to go Busch Series racing with Ray and Diane DeWitt, who took him to his first win in 1995 at Nazareth. Tim wound up at BACE Motorsports, where he had a front-row seat to the chaos … and success … of teammates Randy LaJoie, crew chief Steve Bird, and team owner Bill Baumgardner. Tim then ran into his OWN contractual issues with the team, which prevented him from landing a ride that turned out to be one of the most successful in Busch Series history. We then tackle the May 25, 1995 issue of Winston Cup Scene. A bad storm gets things kicked off at Charlotte the weekend of The Winston Select all-star race. Jeff Gordon fires up his Hendrick Motorsports crew before going out and putting it to the rest of the field in the main event. Kenny Schrader races his way into the all-star race, just a week after losing part of his thumb in a freak accident. And then has a bit of a rough encounter with Mr. Excitement, Jimmy Spencer. Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip try to make a run on Gordon in the final ten-lap shootout but wind up running into each other and crashing. Plus, future high-ranking NASCAR official Elton Sawyer gets whacked with a penalty. Tim Fedewa wins the first race of his Busch Series career at Nazareth by stretching his fuel supply and staying out of the carnage in the first half of the event. Chad Little weighs racing against law school … and racing almost wins, before momma and daddy step in. Finally, Kyle Petty REALLY wants to get to Memphis on time during his annual cross-country motorcycle ride, so he can visit Graceland, home of his hero, Elvis Presley.

Episode 289 -- The History and Sale of Bowman Gray Stadium with Gray Garrison

Episode 289 -- The History and Sale of Bowman Gray Stadium with Gray Garrison

We don’t typically cover weekly short-track racing to any great extent … except when it comes to folks getting started out there. But with Gray Garrison’s LONG family history with Big Bill, Billy, Jim AND Annie France, it’s one of those interviews that we couldn’t NOT do, especially considering the recent announcement of NASCAR acquiring the racing lease at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This WASN’T one of those business associations where NASCAR sanctioned races at Bowman Gray for a LONG time. The France family LIVED with Gray’s maternal grandparents, Alvin and Heloise Hawkins, and Alvin sat just one other person removed from Bill France Sr. in the famous NASCAR organizational meeting at the Streamline Hotel on December 14, 1947. Gray’s grandmother changed Jim France’s diapers, so, yes, last year was NASCAR 75 … and Gray’s family was there from the VERY beginning. We then tackle the August 6, 1987 edition of Grand National Scene. NASCAR puts a strict limit on testing during the offseason and competitors from one end of the garage to the other celebrate. There are features on caterer Jane Hogan; another on the reaction of Cale Yarborough Motorsports to the loss of one of their own; and the luck … or lack thereof … of Blue Max Racing and driver Rusty Wallace. We have a photo bio on some guy named Tony Liberati, a column by the ticked-off Joe Whitlock ... and … finally … a press release in which Tim Richmond talks about looking forward to the upcoming Southern 500.

Episode 287 -- Shawn Parker on His Wife's Heart Transplant, Adopting Their Child

FIRST … we’re gonna dig into the January 30, 1997 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Shawn Parker appears on the cover … along with teammate Ken Sapper … as they work on the rear-end housing from Rusty Wallace’s Penske Racing South Ford. We get preseason stories on Rusty and Jimmy Spencer, as well as features on Ned Jarrett and a throwback to Darrell Waltrip's win in the 1989 Daytona 500. Andy Graves doesn't exactly go all out in his photo bio, and "Pappy" Tom Higgins gets a NASCAR-related fact wrong in writing about astronauts. THEN in the second installment of our interview, Shawn Parker talks about protecting his team’s turf on pit road, which led to maybe … just maybe … a scuffle or two with members of OTHER teams. He talks about the wholesale crew changes that were made at the end of every season in and around the Mooresville race shops. He then turns his attention to meeting Tara Howell, her critical health issues and the subsequent heart transplant she endured and … best of all … the adoption of their son, Jagger.

He gives us his view on what it was like to work for Ray Evernham and go over the wall for the first time in NASCAR’s greatest race.

Episode 285 -- Busch Series Champion Chuck Bown on His Life-Saving Decisions

In the second and final installment of our interview, Chuck Bown remembers winning the 1990 Busch Series championship, as well as the lengths to which NASCAR went to make sure the title was on the up and up. Chuck then moved to Winston Cup with Bobby Allison in 1994 but experienced a terrible accident at Pocono that left him with impaired vision for the next several months. He pulled himself from the car while recovering, and subsequently fought the perception that he was damaged goods. We'll then take a look at the August 16, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Ricky Rudd wins at Watkins Glen, just ahead of a battle for second place between the brothers Bodine … Geoff and Brett. Sterling Marlin and team owner Billy Hagan are mad at Tommy Kendall after the race. Mark Martin finishes fifth on a weekend that began with a VICIOUS accident during practice that also involved Dick Trickle and Troy Beebe. Crew members are injured for the second race in a row.

Also … Chuck Bown wins his sixth and final Busch Series race of 1990. Junior Johnson employees/lawyers file a protest in a garage-area cooking competition and … finally … a commentary foreshadows Rajah Carruth’s truck win this weekend at Las Vegas.

Episode 283 -- Troy Selberg on Blowing Up Fuel Cells and Leaving NASCAR

This week in the third and final installment of our interview, Troy Selberg tries to blow up his race car and then makes one of his teammates hide in the garage overnight to repair the damage.

We then tackle the January 20, 1994 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Troy Selberg is featured on the cover of this issue along with several other crew chiefs, but he’s nowhere to be found IN the issue. The preseason issue also includes stories on the big-game hunting exploits of Richard Childress and Wally Dallenbach, as well as a piece on Elisa Allison, Clifford’s widow.

Episode 281 -- Troy Selberg on Growing Up in Racing, Entrepreneurship

This week in the first of what will be three installments of our interview, Troy Selberg talks about his family’s move from its home in California to North Carolina, where both he AND his dad were going to pursue careers in motorsports. Troy remembers his ingenious method of sneaking into the garage, well before he became a teenager. He worked with D.K. Ulrich and Lake Speed before going to work for Hendrick Motorsports and driver Ricky Rudd. He also talks about how Mike Rich’s accident at Atlanta changed the course of his life and how, eventually, he returned to Lake Speed’s team and became crew chief. And … if you’re out there and have experience in the motorsports industry, Troy has some advice that you do NOT want to miss. We'll then take a deep dive into the April 4, 1991 issue of Winston Cup Scene, which featured coverage of Ken Schrader's early season victory at Atlanta. We wouldn’t have known anything about Schrader's victory from the broadcast of the race … because there WAS NO broadcast of the event once it resumed following a day’s postponement due to rain. This issue also carried features on Harry Gant, Alan Kulwicki, and Darlington Raceway legend Elton Odom.
