When Moonshiners Go Racing

In the third and final installment of our interview with Sandy Jones, he discusses the meaning of REAL friendship and remembers an all-out Dukes of Hazzard-style car chase that our listeners will just have to hear to believe.
 
We then dig into the April 28, 1988 issue of Grand National Scene.
 
Dale Earnhardt wins at Martinsville after Lady Luck … once again … frowns upon Harry Gant. Sterling Marlin and Bobby Hillin have their day in the sun by finishing second and third, respectively, while Buddy Baker gets a top 10.
 
You heard that right … Buddy Baker … top 10 … at Martinsville. Kyle Petty has at it with Geoff Bodine … and then NASCAR. There’s a feature story on trailblazing seatmaker Brian Butler and his ButlerBuilt company. Bobby Wawak discusses his career-ending accident earlier in the season at Daytona, and lunch does NOT go well for Darrell Waltrip and members of his Hendrick Motorsports team.
 
Finally, the letters to the editor section isn’t exactly a meeting of the Dave Marcis fan club after an incident between he and Harry Gant at Bristol.

Episode 297 -- Sandy Jones on Real Friends and NASCAR Road Rage

We get things started off this week with a stunning find ... Rick's old mini-cassette tapes featuring interviews with a number of long-lost members of the NASCAR community.
 
Sandy Jones then remembers a team divided at Junior Johnson and Associates, Tim Brewer’s jaunt through Ingle Hollow, and parting ways with the team. He remembers his time with Darrell Waltrip and the Tide Ride, their 1989 Daytona 500 win together, and a SHORT-lived stint with DW’s own operation.
 
 We then dig into the December 5, 1985 edition of Grand National Scene.
 
Bill Elliott … and NOT Darrell Waltrip … is named Driver of the Year. Bobby Allison was unhappy with a two-car situation at DiGard … so he leaves and JOINS a two-car operation with the Stavola Brothers.
 
Rusty Wallace makes the move from Cliff Stewart to Blue Max. There’s a Sandy Jones photo bio. Mark Martin has a new Cup deal. Michael Waltrip loses his crew chief to a terrible highway accident. Richard Petty undergoes surgery … and … finally … the name Grand National gets dropped from the Cup series and moves to the Busch Grand National division.

Episode 296 -- Junie Donlavey Clip AND Sandy Jones on Parting Ways with Junior Johnson & Associates

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 295 -- Sandy Jones on Junior Johnson University

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.
