In the first of what will be three jam-packed segments, Frank Stoddard remembers going to work on a farm at an extraordinarily young age and how that played into him getting into racing.

We then go Busch North racing … then Busch South … then back to Busch North with Stub Fadden, before finally heading to the Winston Cup circuit with Jeff Burton.

We then dive into the January 20, 2005 issue of NASCAR Scene.

Everybody else is headed for Daytona, while host Rick Houston is living life as a brand-new teacher and Brian France SAYS he isn’t looking for a new gig himself as an NFL team owner.

NASCAR bans the Hutchens device … and Ryan Newman doesn’t like it … a reader REALLY doesn’t like Jeff Gordon … a fan maybe likes Michael Waltrip a little TOO much … and Kyle Petty LIKES Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl performance.
