Episode 267 -- Harold Holly on Chad Little, Work Ethic and Jeff Green

10/18/23 • 65 min

We start off this week with a reaction to our weekend in Las Vegas and the BEAUTIFUL Rusty Wallace commemorative issue of Grand National Scene.

In the second installment of our interview, Harold Holly gives us the lowdown on Chad Little’s monster 1995 Busch Series season, his incredibly intense expectations and work ethic and, finally, getting hooked up with Jeff Green.

We then dig into the August 3, 1995 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Sam Bass provides the artwork for a Brickyard 400 preview, which includes a collection of stories on Jeff Gordon’s rise to superstardom, Hendrick Motorsports crew chiefs, and engine builder Randy Dorton.

Chad Little stages a comeback win at South Boston. There’s a review of 43 – The Richard Petty Story and you react to a recent Sports Illustrated cover story proclaiming NASCAR America’s Hottest Sport.

Episode 266 -- Harold Holly on Racing with Alan Kulwicki, HUGE Michael Waltrip Accidents

In the first of what will be three installments of our conversation, Harold Holly talks about the impact of hanging out with his PeeWee football coach ... and more importantly ... that coach’s race car. Harold breaks into the sport with fellow Alabama native Mickey Gibbs.

A break from the sport doesn’t last very long, and Harold winds up doing math on the run for the late, great Alan Kulwicki before going to work for Bahari Racing and driver Michael Waltrip.

And Harold was RIGHT THERE as Michael endured a REALLY tough month in the spring of 1990.

We then tear into the October 11, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Davey Allison isn’t quite sure how many laps are left at Charlotte ... but goes on to win anyway. Bill Elliott is dominant but falls by the wayside due to a tire issue. Richard Childress Racing crew members escape injury on pit road ... and then take matters into their own hands when a tire falls off Dale Earnhardt’s RCR Chevrolet.

Mark Martin gains SOME ground on Dale in the Winston Cup standings ... but he could have gained a WHOLE lot more. Morgan Shepherd and Michael Waltrip get hosed out of full-page sidebars and Ricky Rudd REALLY gets hosed in the Charlotte Observer.

Episode 268 -- Harold Holly on His Drive for Excellence, Bobby Hamilton Jr. and Going Dirt Racing

After a special appearance by official studio dog Otis, we dive into the third and final installment of our interview with the one and only Harold Holly. He talks about his intense drive for excellence, parting ways with PPC Racing, getting hooked up with gas-masher Bobby Hamilton Jr., and his decision to leave NASCAR and go dirt racing.

We also take a look at the February 3, 1983 issue of the Grand National Scene.

This was a preview issue of the upcoming Daytona 500 ... and it has absolutely nothing to do with Harold Holly. Why go through this issue this week, you ask? It's all about an important project and the preservation of NASCAR history.
