  • This week, Michael "Fatback" McSwain talks about the origin of his nickname, padding his resume a little bit when he first got into Winston Cup, the influence of Robert Gee and Harry Hyde on his career, trying to make ends meet with team owner Richard Jackson, an INCREDIBLE third-place finish with Morgan Shepherd at Atlanta and how standing up for himself and his beliefs was one of his greatest strengths … and maybe, one of his greatest weaknesses.

    Wow! So glad to hear from Michael; I was a big fan and missed him when he left the scene. Honestly, his departure from the scene made me question how I felt about the sport. If there was no room for a guy with the talent, knowledge, determination, and successful track record that Michael had, I wasn't sure the sport was evolving in a direction I wanted to follow. Thanks so much for giving him a voice. I can't wait for more!

    Such a cool guy. One of the last of the old schoolers whatever it takes racers. When you actually had to know something instead of someone

    You find someone more real that Michael McSwain. I don't think you can. That is a great right there. Kept my boy Ricky Rudd in the fight deep into a lot of races.

    Can anyone explain how a quality channel like this with all the information and knowledge from the movers and shakers of NASCAR, has only 4,000 subscribers - that's crazy!

    During this era my brother forewarned me that Nascar was going to change. I didn't want to hear it and told him there was no way that could happen. I really miss that time..

    They called it 'riding for the brand' in the Old West. Still not a bad character trait but rare today.

    NASCAR needs characters like Michael Fatback Mcswain in the sport again. I would love to see him get with a top team again now his kids are a little older.

    @jackmatthews2840 3 роки тому +6

    So if Fatback is not in racing, where and what is this guy doing now? It's gotta be something to do with automobiles or diesel engines, right?

    • @TheSceneVault
      @TheSceneVault  3 роки тому +8

      He owns a tire store in Dallas, North Carolina, near Gastonia.

    • @joshbrown5938
      @joshbrown5938 2 роки тому

      I would say where he lives at but I will not do that but let's put it this way it's in the country and he owes a bunch of land that backs up to our property that has more deer on it than anywhere

    Yikes. Pot DOWN on the host's microphone. I'll hit pause and allow the ringing to leave my ears before listening to the final 40 minutes.
