    Episode 380 -- Bobby Hutchens on Bowman Gray, Bringing Engineering to RCR and LIfe with Earnhardt
    Jan 21 2026
    In the first installment of what will be a two-part interview, Bobby Hutchens goes from Bowman Gray Stadium to North Carolina State University and then to Richard Childress Racing, where he helps change the culture on one of the sport’s most successful teams as a mechanical engineer. Along with guest co-host Tony Liberati, we then dig into the April 22, 1993 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Rusty Wallace wins at North Wilkesboro after which he does the Polish victory lap for the second race in a row, in memory of Alan Kulwicki. Sterling Marlin dominates the first half of the event, while Jim Roper pays a visit to the track that weekend. There’s fallout about the announcement that Hooters would be ending its sponsorship of Alan Kulwicki Racing … and hope for the future after it’s announced that NASCAR would be racing at Indy for the first time the following year. Finally … Ricky Rudd wants a word … or a pound of flesh … from Brett Bodine in the North Wilkesboro garage.

  • Episode 379 -- Darrell Bryant on Working with Young Guns, Buying Tires and Foxholes

    Episode 379 -- Darrell Bryant on Working with Young Guns, Buying Tires and Foxholes
    Jan 14 2026
    This week in the second and final installment of our interview, Darrell Bryant wins at Darlington, this time with Lake Speed. He gets hung with the nickname the Professor after working with drivers early in their career and he joins the ranks of those who’ve had to personally buy tires because their teams are struggling financially. However, that particular team owner once wrote in his autobiography that he would’ve wanted Darrell Bryant right there next to him in a foxhole. We then dig into the April 21, 1988 issue of Grand National Scene. Dale Earnhardt gets black flagged as soon as that year’s spring North Wilkesboro race gets underway, but battles back to lead the most laps before seeing the victory slip away due to a leaky tire. The win goes to Terry Labonte and hometown hero Junior Johnson, whose then-wife Flossie is featured in this issue. Rusty Wallace salvages a fourth-place finish despite getting banged up during a test, his CAR getting banged up during practice after his car's hood pins are left unfastened and getting a hot foot during the race itself. Steve Waid’s commentary focuses on a recent incident between Harry Gant and Dave Marcis. Gary McCreadie has a column on team press kits … did we need ‘em or didn’t we? Finally, Dale Earnhardt discusses his feelings for driving on the highway versus the race track and his daughter Kelley gets HER drivers license. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 378 -- Darrell Bryant on Getting a Tiger by the Tail in Buck Baker and Scuffling with Morgan Shepherd
    Jan 7 2026
    We’re going to try something a little different to start off the new year. In addition to the greatness that our listeners have come to expect from Rick Houston and Steve Waid each week, we’re going to have a THIRD voice in the mix as a co-host. And that third voice is going to be a rotation of Tony Liberati, John Dodson, Jeff Hammond and Chris Powell. This week, former driver and longtime crew chief Darrell Bryant takes us from Bowman Gray Stadium in 1951 to working with Buck Baker, Donnie Allison, Jim Paschal. He was there the night BOBBY Allison won that controversial race at Bowman Gray … and yes … he’s always thought Bobby should’ve received credit for the victory. Darrell also remembers calling Terry Labonte to the first Winston Cup victory of his career and a garage-area scuffle with Morgan Shepherd. We then dig into the August 13, 1981 issue of Grand National Scene. Morgan Shepherd gets the heave-ho from team owner Cliff Stewart after a Talladega scuffle with Darrell Bryant. Dale Earnhardt joins Richard Childress Racing for a trial run. Purolator leaves the Wood Brothers. And finally, there’s talk of two of the most successful drivers in NASCAR history becoming teammates … for one race, at least.
