In the first of what will be three installments, Jeff Hensley talks about going racing with his dad Hubert and cousin Jimmy … and knowing when to quit as a driver himself.

We then take a look at the April 21, 1983 issue of Grand National Scene

This issue features coverage of Darrell Waltrip and Junior Johnson’s win at North Wilkesboro … THERE was a shocker … but NOT Tommy Ellis’ Budweiser Late Model Sportsman victory at South Boston, in which Jeff collected the best finish of his career in the series.

D.K. Ulrich races against hamburgers and hot dogs, while Steve Waid dives into the safety issues of the day and Mark Martin hits rock bottom at his first attempt to make a go of it in NASCAR.
