  • What kinds of stories do David Ifft, John Dodson and Pete Wright share this week? They drop nitrous oxide bombshells about at least one three-time Winston Cup champion and another involving a team that won three DAYTONA 500s.
    We’ve got lead wheels, motorized movable weight within the frame rails, some sort of camera-mounted laser that could trip a qualifying timer light, a NASCAR template that was secretly cut by a team to fit ITS car and nobody else’s … and according to one of our storytellers … flat-out bribery.

    as much as I miss the "ole days" - I think I like the cheating stories better than anything else! I love the ingenuity...

    I absolutely love this. The ingenuity and ingenious ideas these cats did are stuff of legends . I love racing and certainly miss the good old days of Nascar when it was entertaining.

    I went to work for Bobby Labonte in 94. Bobby and Terry shared a shop, and had a wheel / tire room on the side of the building. I was doing tires for the team, and found a pair of wheels on the rack that I could barely pickup. I was told a few years prior Nascar officials were headed to Junior's place and they had to get the wheels out of there before the officials showed up, so they ended up at Terry's.

    Love it. It's not cheating, it's ingenuity. Reminds me of the scene in Casablanca where the police raid Rick's Café and the chief is shocked that there is gambling going on. Then the dealer hands him his winnings.

    Love the Dale Earnhardt Sr stories. Thank you all. Love jr's broadcasts too. A part of us died with Dale's death. The Oppermans from Texas will always love and miss you Dale Earnhardt Sr, your fans forever. Never has gotten over his loss. It's 2023 and I just celebrated 72 years....mine September and Dale Sr was April. Jerry and Sugar Bear and Gloria and Bear from Texas. My Jerry and Sugar Bear are in Heaven watching Dale Sr and Neil Bonnett racing together. Thank you.

    Rick, spent a little time with Pete racing, but with these three, you can get enough content for a 100 videos……and 100 more not fit for “new fans” who don’t quite understand 🏁

    Rubbin' is racin' and cheatin' is beatin' was a common phrase around short tracks in the 70's.

    Wouldn’t the timing system recognize the camera breaking the beam, then the car breaking it immediately after as it passed? What would have been the work around for that?
    Awesome stories. Thank you.

    • @DanEBoyd
      @DanEBoyd Рік тому

      Perhaps the programming recognized only the first beam-break signal, with all subsequent ones being ignored?

      Nascar agreed back then as it was helping build their sport, hence the no penalties. Then things got too big ...

    I watched Sterling Marlin pull Jeff Gordon from almost a lap down , all tge way to 5th place the tail end of the lead draft at Talladega in that 4 car then pulled over and let Gordon go.
    That 4 car would get it on, then.

    I would much rather they could "stretched the rules" so we could get stories like these, over what Nascar has become today. Because the way Nascar is today is what caused me to stop watching Nascar races completely.

  • @headbrown5629

    I've never understood why Maurice Petty was so black balled for the big engine in......83 or 83. And if the subject is brought up in the presence of one of race it's a taboo subject & treated like an embarrassment to the the man & the family. I get why the Cheifs boys feel that way now simply because of how their Dad & that subject has been treated over the years. It's a sore subject. But I just don't understand why this issue is the way it is........& everyone else can & " SHOULD" brag about the things they did. This is the stuff old school race fans love to hear. We watched on TV & the from the stands back in the day. but there was no inside information. unless you could get a Nascar show on cable. I remember the videos you could get as a fee gift for ordering magazine subscriptions. Or the old cable shows Ned Jarret & Steve Burns were in in the 80"s. Benny Parsons produce d a few videos of 3 others drivers & himself sitting around talking about wrecks & big times they had had. I think B.P. did that a few years. But we never got this kind of inside information.....especially from the crew guys.i guess this is my way if saying that i I love the Scene Vault Podcast
