And IN Jimmy Makar, Part One, Jimmy talks about being a fan from the second his was born and how his dad Jim’s tenure as a Winston Cup team owner was short-lived but somehow also managed to sow the seeds for a lifetime in the sport. Jimmy takes us along for the ride on the road trip from hell to beat ALL road trips from hell. He tells us about working for Robert Gee, Harry Hyde, Junior Johnson and Raymond Beadle and the transition from Tim Richmond as driver to Rusty Wallace. In our second segment, hosts Rick Houston and longtime Winston Cup Scene photographer Bryan Hallman leaf through the September 29, 1977 edition of Grand National Scene. This early issue of Scene featured coverage of two Winston Cup races … Benny Parsons won at Dover by holding off a wink-wink challenge from David Pearson, while the UNGRATEFUL Cale Yarborough dominated … and won … at Martinsville. Kenny Brightbill destroys Jim Makar’s Mercury at Dover, while Gene Granger produces a lengthy story on Richard Petty’s record-setting 1967 NASCAR season. Learn more about your ad choices.
