After some great reaction to the first installment of the Frank Warren interview, he’s back for more this week with a dream deal he turns down on principle … and then finds out the guy was a ghost.

We’ve got Maurice Petty doing engine work for Frank on the downlow … Soapy “Gunslinger” Castles gets his point across at Martinsville … the war that Frank waged on chained gates in the garage area and how Frank Warren wound up with the trophy Elvis Presley won in Speedway.

"Stupid redneck."

"Ass clown."

"Cuck."

Under the best of circumstances, they're not terms of endearment. And when they're coming from the highest of high-ranking NASCAR officials about a well-respected team owner, it's bombshell news that might very well mark a turning point in the sport's history.

NASCAR Hall of Famer Mark Martin joins host Rick Houston and super-sub Eric Quinn this week for a heartfelt reaction to NASCAR Chairman Steve Phelps' pointed remarks about NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Childress.

This week in the second installment of our interview, Donnie Richeson goes from Whitcomb to Sabco Racing, where he has a front-row seat for all the goodness that was Kyle Petty and Felix Sabates.

He then gets the chance to serve as crew chief for Brett Bodine … and at the time … Donnie and Brett were married to twin sisters. And … there’s talk of Dale Earnhardt going to drive for Kenny Bernstein.

We then tackle the December 12, 1991 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Dale Earnhardt celebrates his fifth Winston Cup championship at the banquet in New York City, but even though nobody knows it at the time, crew chief Kirk Shelmerdine’s time with Richard Childress Racing is beginning to wind down.

During the banquet, Dale gives a head nod to THE biggest PERSONAL controversy of his career. There’s talk of shortening races beginning in 1992 and a look back on the 1979 championship battle between Richard Petty and Darrell Waltrip.

And … Steve Waid proceeds to take pot shots at basically everybody in the garage.

This week in the first of what will be three installments, Donnie Richeson takes us on a journey from Owensboro, Kentucky and Alan Kulwicki’s humble beginnings in Wisconsin to the turmoil of the Darrell Waltrip-Waddell Wilson-Hendrick Motorsports Dream Team.

Then in our second segment, we’re going to dig into the July 30, 1981 issue of Grand National Scene.

Darrell dominates and then wins at Pocono … and then he doesn’t … and then he does again after a scoring snafu that leaves DW and Cale Yarborough both trying to wedge their cars into victory lane.

And Al Loquasto makes his Winston Cup debut in an entry sponsored by Schaefer beer.

This week, we’ve got the first of a three-part interview with the legendary engine builder, Lou LaRosa. The conversation takes listeners from Brooklyn, Ebbetts Field and Vietnam all the way to the DiGard Racing shop in Daytona.

We then page through the February 16, 1989 issue of Grand National Scene.

It’s a great start to the 1989 edition of Speedweeks at Daytona for Ken Schrader, who captures the pole position for the following week’s Daytona 500 AND wins the Busch Clash from the pole.

There's a crazy ARCA race at Daytona. There are features on Ernie Elliott and Betty Jane France, as well as a short item on the intricate work put into the Country Time Lemonade uniforms and finally, master wordsmith Joe Whitlock has another beautiful column.
