Episode 311 -- Joe Dan Bailey Goes From NASCAR Indepdent to Daytona 500 and Championship Rings


Listen Later

In the third and final installment of our interview, Joe Dan Bailey wins the 1990 Daytona 500 … and then goes to work for Richard Childress Racing, where he proudly shows off his ring for that infamous event.

 

With RCR, Joe Dan helps Dale Earnhardt win his sixth AND seventh Winston Cup championships. Still, in the topsy-turvy world of NASCAR, Joe Dan isn’t able to find career stability until going to work for Toyota Racing Development, where he’s been for nearly 18 years now.

 

We then delve into the April 9, 1992 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

 

Alan Kulwicki has to come back from HIS late pit miscue to race Dale Jarrett HARD for the win at Bristol … and eventually does take the checkered flag.

Davey Allison has the first of what would be several hurdles he’d have to clear in 1992. Hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid do a little race parlay … JUST FOR FUN.

 

Turns out, Rick, Steve and Buddy Parrott have a hero in common. Barry Dodson and some of his guys move in at Whitcomb Racing … while some former Whitcomb crew members have to move out. Barry was leaving the ill-fated Team III, while Kenny Wallace remembers that effort as one of the worst times in his career.

We then unveil a semi-, kinda-sorta, maybe, almost comprehensive list of teams for which legendary crew chief/chassis expert "Suitcase" Jake Elder worked over the years.
