Summary
This week in the second installment of our interview, Jeffrey Baker gives us an insider’s view of the Tabasco Fiasco, rooting AGAINST Dale Earnhardt in the closing laps of the 1998 Daytona 500 and the best advice he’s EVER received in NASCAR. We then dig into the May 14, 1998 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Teammates Rusty Wallace and Jeremy Mayfield are featured as the cover story in this issue, in a piece in which everybody involved said the right things about how well they were working together. Buckshot Jones wins at New Hampshire in an event that’s notorious to all who listen to and love The Scene Vault Podcast. Bill France Sr takes on Curtis Turner, Tim Flock and the Teamsters, while Randy LaJoie talks to somebody at Winston Cup Scene OTHER than Rick Houston about his seating company.
