Episode 258 -- Bobby Hamilton Jr. on Loss of His Dad, Leaving the Sport and Freedom to be Himself

This week in the final installment of our interview with Bobby Hamilton Jr., he talks about going Cup racing with Cal Wells and the difficulties he faced there, the devastating loss of his dad and attempting to race without him, and his decision to walk away from the sport.

We then dig into the October 29, 1987 issue of Grand National Scene.

Bill Elliott and Morgan Shepherd win at Rockingham, but it’s Dale Earnhardt and Larry Pearson who win championships. Dale’s team wins the pit crew race for the third season in a row, gets a new primary sponsor in GM Goodwrench AND Dale gets BLASTED by more than a few letter writers.
