Episode 371 -- Donnie Richeson ... From Kentucky and Kulwicki to Darrell Waltrip and Dream Team Turmoil
This week in the first of what will be three installments, Donnie Richeson takes us on a journey from Owensboro, Kentucky and Alan Kulwicki’s humble beginnings in Wisconsin to the turmoil of the Darrell Waltrip-Waddell Wilson-Hendrick Motorsports Dream Team.
Then in our second segment, we’re going to dig into the July 30, 1981 issue of Grand National Scene.
Darrell dominates and then wins at Pocono … and then he doesn’t … and then he does again after a scoring snafu that leaves DW and Cale Yarborough both trying to wedge their cars into victory lane.
And Al Loquasto makes his Winston Cup debut in an entry sponsored by Schaefer beer.

We then page through the February 16, 1989 issue of Grand National Scene.
It’s a great start to the 1989 edition of Speedweeks at Daytona for Ken Schrader, who captures the pole position for the following week’s Daytona 500 AND wins the Busch Clash from the pole.
There's a crazy ARCA race at Daytona. There are features on Ernie Elliott and Betty Jane France, as well as a short item on the intricate work put into the Country Time Lemonade uniforms and finally, master wordsmith Joe Whitlock has another beautiful column.
