Episode 317 -- Gary DeHart on 1996 Winston Cup with Terry Labonte, Burnout and Inventing a New NASCAR Seat


Listen Later

This week in the third and final segment of our interview, Gary DeHart talks about how having a crappy seat at the Winston Cup awards banquet fueled his determination to win it all that much more.

 

1996 turned out to be quite interesting with Hendrick Motorsports drivers Terry Labonte and Jeff Gordon and their teams going after each other for the championship. And despite coming out on top in 1996, DeHart opted to step down the following season due to burnout.

 

Gary concludes the session with a breakdown of his extraordinary work in the field of safety in NASCAR and gives us as close a look at T-Rex as anybody’s going to get.

We then took a look at the November 14, 1996 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

It’s an extraordinarily good weekend for the Labonte family in Atlanta, with Bobby winning the 1996 season finale and Terry winning the Winston Cup championship.

 

There are features on the evolution of the NASCAR roll cage and Brett Bodine’s first year as an owner-driver, and coverage of Randy LaJoie’s first Busch Series championship with BACE Motorsports. This issue also features an incredible photo of a fiery crash at Homestead.
