Ted Musgrave: Dodging Death, Championship Controversy & Life Full Throttle

Dale Earnhardt Jr sits down with NASCAR Truck Series mainstay Ted Musgrave to discuss Ted's near-death experiences, his battle with cancer while driving, the time he quit mid-race, and much more. The Illinois native had a stay-out-of-trouble mindset during his career, but he also reveals his wild side, which is full of exceptions. He details his rise through the ranks in Wisconsin, the glory days of racing in ASA, and why he had to turn down the chance to replace Richard Petty's 43 seat after he retired.

He shares the story of when he, Mark Martin, Buddy Parrott, and others escaped a near-death experience trying to land a plane, which missed the runway by 200 feet. The two dive into his time racing in the truck series, talking about the Championship that slipped out of his hands, and how he found a new home after his team suddenly shut down on him. They also break down the time his tempers got the best of him, and how he would compare NASCAR today to the one he remembers. It's a conversation you won't want to miss.
