  • Episode 295 -- Sandy Jones on Junior Johnson University

    Episode 295 -- Sandy Jones on Junior Johnson University
    May 15 2024
    This week in the first of what will be three installments, Sandy Jones remembers Jimmy "Smut" Means, the LONG road home from Pocono, his stint with D.K. Ulrich, and going to school at Junior Johnson University, where he was the new kid in Ingle Hollow … and treated like it. We then tackle the April 3, 1980 edition of Grand National Scene. Dale Earnhardt wins his second race in a row, early in his sophomore season. The win comes at Bristol, where he’d scored the FIRST victory of his Winston Cup career the year before. Donnie Allison parts ways with Hoss Ellington, and there’s speculation on who might go into the seat. Gene Granger has the scoop on David Pearson and Hoss … and yes … another feature on his friend. Gene also takes aim at ABC’s coverage of the recent Atlanta event, a broadcast anchored by the legendary Al Michaels. Neil Bonnett talks about Harry Hyde, qualifying, and his quite liberal interpretation of the rulebook. Finally, there are features on Jimmy Means’ "main man" … Sandy Jones … and former boat racer Bill Elswick.

  • Episode 294 -- Norman Negre on Bobby Allison Writing Richard Petty a BIG Check

    Episode 294 -- Norman Negre on Bobby Allison Writing Richard Petty a BIG Check
    May 8 2024
    This week in the third and final installment of our interview, Norman Negre remembers the mother of all road trips … and flights … with Bobby Allison … who, by the way … has 85 Grand National/Cup wins, not 84. After that, we’ve got false teeth flying all over the place, while race cars AREN’T taking flight quite as much, thanks in part to Norman. We then dig into the June 15, 1995 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Jeff Gordon’s missed shift hands the Pocono win to Hendrick Motorsports teammate Terry Labonte. Ted Musgrave takes second place and does not get PUNCHED this time. Hut Stricklin’s fifth-place showing gives him hope that his Kenny Bernstein-owned team won’t shut down at the end of the season. And Dale Jarrett’s day lasts but a few laps for the second race in a row. Larry Pearson and Ryan Pemberton win at Myrtle Beach, while little ol’ me does a feature on my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee’s connections to racing. Finally, Junie Donlavey is joined for a cool photo op by several of his former drivers. NOTE: This show is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.

  • Episode 293 -- Norman Negre on Dale Earnhardt and Nitrous Oxide

    Episode 293 -- Norman Negre on Dale Earnhardt and Nitrous Oxide
    May 1 2024
    Norman Negre didn't want to talk about whether or not nitrous played a part in Dale Earnhardt making the first start of his Winston Cup career … and I respected that … but we’ve since discussed it a little bit more … and he did admit that there were some things that he wanted to get straight. So … we met AGAIN … and we got the story straight from Norman. This week in the second installment of our interview, Norman also talks about the lengths to which independents would go to make ends meet, his relationship with Harry Hyde, and how that led to stints with Tim Richmond, Bobby Hillin, and ALMOST Rick Hendrick. We then take a deep dive into the July 24, 1986 issue of Grand National Scene. Tim Richmond and Harry Hyde celebrate on the cover of this issue after Tim overcomes Hendrick Motorsports teammate Geoff Bodine and Ricky Rudd in a thrilling last-lap battle at Pocono. Richard Petty isn’t happy with Tim after the race. Harry Gant takes the pole position during qualifying … but afterward … his crew chief Travis Carter is hammered with a thousand-dollar fine for a piece that was SPIRITUALLY illegal. There’s a feature on Norman Negre; Gene Granger has the inside look on rising salary demand; and two letters to the editor stand out ... one discusses Janet Guthrie's career stats, while the other mentions rumors(?!?) that Kyle Petty might join the 1960s supergroup The Monkees!
