After a chat with NASCAR Mavericks authors Herb Branham and Holly Cain, Ken Ragan talks about coming back from serious injury and then reconsidering his place in the sport after ANOTHER devastating crash.

 Ken then discusses his relationship with Tim Richmond, who was slated to drive Ken’s car in the 1988 edition of the Busch Clash.

We then dig into the May 15, 1985 issue of Grand National Scene.

It’s a superspeedway in 1985 … who do you THINK won that week’s Winston Cup event? If you’re thinking Bill Elliott, you would be absolutely correct … but he DID have to overcome a handful of problems before the halfway point in order to set sail in the FINAL couple hundred miles.

Also, fallout continues from "Fuelgate" the month before at Pocono.
