Episode 282 -- Troy Selberg on NASCAR Exit Strategies and The Great Carburetor Caper Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

In the second installment of our interview, Troy Selberg describes a life-changing conversation with a mentor who encouraged him to form his NASCAR exit strategy. He also remembers his Great Phoenix Carburetor Controversy … and how it resulted in the right sponsor … making the right race … at the right time.

We then tackle the July 3, 1980 issue of the Grand National Scene.

There’s a feature story on Troy Selberg’s dad … Erv … and his young, impressionable teammate and news that Ricky Rudd was replacing Dick Brooks behind the wheel of team owner Nelson Malloch’s cars. And just wait until you hear what Ricky had to say about those cars just a few short weeks later!

Episode 281 -- Troy Selberg on Growing Up in Racing, Entrepreneurship Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

This week in the first of what will be three installments of our interview, Troy Selberg talks about his family’s move from its home in California to North Carolina, where both he AND his dad were going to pursue careers in motorsports.

Troy remembers his ingenious method of sneaking into the garage, well before he became a teenager. He worked with D.K. Ulrich and Lake Speed before going to work for Hendrick Motorsports and driver Ricky Rudd.

He also talks about how Mike Rich’s accident at Atlanta changed the course of his life and how, eventually, he returned to Lake Speed’s team and became crew chief.

And … if you’re out there and have experience in the motorsports industry, Troy has some advice that you do NOT want to miss.

We'll then take a deep dive into the April 4, 1991 issue of Winston Cup Scene, which featured coverage of Ken Schrader's early season victory at Atlanta.

We wouldn’t have known anything about Schrader's victory from the broadcast of the race … because there WAS NO broadcast of the event once it resumed following a day’s postponement due to rain.

This issue also carried features on Harry Gant, Alan Kulwicki, and Darlington Raceway legend Elton Odom.

We then take a peek into the June 4, 1998 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Dale Jarrett stretches his fuel supply to sneak a win away from the dominant … and … as it turns out in this issue, controversy magnet … Jeff Gordon. Dale Earnhardt Jr wins the weekend’s Busch Series event over baseball-player-backed Bobby Hillin.
