In the second installment of our interview, Troy Selberg describes a life-changing conversation with a mentor who encouraged him to form his NASCAR exit strategy. He also remembers his Great Phoenix Carburetor Controversy … and how it resulted in the right sponsor … making the right race … at the right time.

We then tackle the July 3, 1980 issue of the Grand National Scene.

There’s a feature story on Troy Selberg’s dad … Erv … and his young, impressionable teammate and news that Ricky Rudd was replacing Dick Brooks behind the wheel of team owner Nelson Malloch’s cars. And just wait until you hear what Ricky had to say about those cars just a few short weeks later!
