This is a really cool podcast. And you don’t really need to be a race fan to be interested in these stories.
I went to a handful of races in the mid to late 90s, but then went to college and never really stayed with the sport. But always had a deep respect for it and anyone involved in a team. Just fascinating stuff to hear about no2 bottles being made to look like a part of the frame, how a jack bolt was made to break off so the car would sit lower. And that’s just the cheating stories.
in the last day I’ve listened to a championship mechanic discuss his escape from the Amish life, and dale jrs brother meeting their dad for the first time when he was a teenager.
Really good stuff but my favorite thing is when jr. hears something and says “damn!”.
