In the third and final installment of our interview, Frank Stoddard gives us even more on his split with Jeff Burton and Roush Racing, but adds that his issues were NOT with team owner Jack Roush. And … just for the heck of it … we get a Kurt Busch story or two … or three or four.

We then take a look into the September 12, 2002 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Matt Kenseth wins at Richmond, but most of the sport’s focus is on the first anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Tony Stewart is accused of getting into another scrape, while MONGO and his wife are on their way to China to pick up their new daughter.

In the second installment of our interview, Frank Stoddard gives us an unfiltered, no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners, damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead, INSIDE look at how his time as Jeff Burton’s Roush Racing crew chief came to an inglorious end.

We then take a look inside the March 7, 1996 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Jeff Gordon wins on a COLD weekend in Richmond, while Jack Roush isn’t satisfied with his organization’s results … and just wait until you hear WHERE his teams’ drivers finished. It’s SO cold … heck freezes over and NASCAR doesn’t penalize three of the top-five finishers.

AND … there’s SOME reaction to an incident the previous week between Dale Earnhardt and Bobby Hamilton at Rockingham.

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.

In the third and final installment of our interview, Andy Papathanassiou remembers the departure of Ray Evernham from Hendrick Motorsports, the establishment of what amounted to a pit-crew department there, a terrible day in Martinsville and finally, his own departure

from the organization he’d served for nearly three decades.

We then take a peek at the October 1, 1992 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Geoff

Bodine wins a rain-delayed race at Martinsville, while Rusty Wallace, Brett Bodine, Kyle Petty and Alan Kulwicki follow him to the stripe.

There’s some movement in the Winston Cup standings … with Alan making up some fairly

major ground. Dave Marcis and Michael Waltrip have at it and Mongo makes his way from West Point to pit road. Last but not least, we have reaction from Junior Johnson to a costly call at Dover andTim Brewer’s reaction TO that reaction.

This week, Andy Papathanassiou takes us through the Refuse to Lose mindset established by Ray Evernham at Hendrick Motorsports for budding superstar Jeff Gordon.

We then dig into the June 3, 1993 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Dale Earnhardt stages a COUPLE of comebacks in winning the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, while rookie Jeff Gordon claims the best finish of his young Winston Cup career.

Ted Musgrave is hit with a bad case of carbon monoxide exposure, while there’s a great story by Tom Stinson on fathers and sons … not on the track … but back in the garage and on pit road.

And finally … Mello Yello signs a BIG sponsorship extension with Team Sabco and Kyle Petty.

This week in the first of what will be three installments of our interview, Andy Papathanassiou takes us through his academics-first, athletics-second upbringing in New Jersey and how that helped land him a football scholarship at Stanford.

Andy started all four years of his college career, but a major surgery left him at a crossroads in his athletic career. And THAT’s when NASCAR first came into the picture.

We then take a deep dive into the June 14, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

The paper didn’t have anybody on the crime beat, so there was no coverage in this issue of Andy Papa’s first race ever and him sneaking into the garage.

Rusty Wallace and Ricky Rudd are back at it at Sears Point, while Joe Whitlock turns in another masterful column … this one about his longtime friend Buddy Parrott.

And … sadly … short-track legend Butch Lindley succumbs to injuries he’d sustained in a racing accident five years earlier.

In the third and final installment of our interview, Jeff Hensley talks about what it meant to win the 1990 Busch Series championship with his dad Hubert, a parting of the ways with driver Chuck Bown and his passion for the sport that still burns bright.

We then tackle the October 21, 1993 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

The Unocal/Rockingham pit-crew race is coming up and Scene takes an in-depth look at past winners, while Chuck Bown and Jeff Hensley score what would turn out to be their final win together. Robert Pressley gets a new ride with former foe and future friend Rick Mast after being let go by team owner Dennis Welch … and Bobby Allison does Bobby Allison things.

Jeff Hensley remembers how a random conversation at Martinsville led to sponsorship for the next SIX YEARS … AND a Busch Series championship.

But before all that can take place … he and driver Chuck Bown nearly freeze to death at a rest stop. Hubert Hensley had told his boy to fix the truck they were in … but did he listen?!? NOOOOOOOOO …

We then check out the May 10, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Dale Earnhardt FINALLY wins at Talladega in a race that saw Greg Sacks come fairly close to pulling off the SECOND major upset of his career. Neil Bonnett announces that he won’t be able to race for another year after he sustained a serious head injury earlier in the year at Darlington.

And … it’s a battle of the Hensleys at South Boston.

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.
