EPISODE 83 -- JEFF BURTON PART 1 Mar 12, 2020

Show notes

Long before he ever stepped foot in a television broadcast booth, Jeff Burton was just another up-and-coming hotshoe hoping to make his mark in big-time automobile racing. In this week's installment of our conversation with Jeff, he takes us back to his humble beginnings in the sport … and a time in his career where he had worked himself very near the precipice of utter exhaustion. In our second segment, hosts Steve Waid and Rick Houston leaf through the June 17, 1993 issue of Winston Cup Scene, which features coverage of Kyle Petty's win at Pocono … Ken Schrader's pole and second-place finish … and Jeff Burton's Busch Series victory over brother Ward at Myrtle Beach. Kyle, Kenny and Jeff … incredibly enough … have been our last three interview guests here on The Scene Vault Podcast!

EPISODE 82 -- KEN SCHRADER Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

There's really only one word that can full describe Ken Schrader and his career -- and that's racer. A competitor who has driven one kind of race car or another for a full 50 years now, Schrader began his Winston Cup career with Elmo Langley and Junie Donlavey. After that, he moved to Hendrick Motorsports, where his career took off in earnest. In this in-depth interview, Schrader remembers the highs ... and lows ... of a career spent behind the wheel. In our second segment, hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid dive into the August 4, 1988 issue of Grand National Scene, which featured coverage of Schrader's very first Winston Cup victory at Talladega.

EPISODE 80 -- RYAN NEWMAN REACTION Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

After Ryan Newman’s vicious crash in Monday's Daytona 500, hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid just didn't feel right about releasing an episode in which they'd be laughing and cutting up ... as usual. Although they’d already recorded once this week, they got back together to discuss Newman, safety and their memories of some really bad weekends. Afterward came the very best news of all ... Newman had been released from the hospital, a walking and talking miracle if ever there was one!

Show notes

Clocking in at a little more than an hour and a half, this week's episode of The Scene Vault Podcast Presented by Q Ware is our second-longest ever. Why so long? Because between Kyle Petty AND Tony "Rambo" Liberati, we certainly had a lot to discuss. Kyle remembers the struggles of keeping up with the times at Petty Enterprises, driving for the Wood Brothers, being incredibly upset with a caution at Richmond … before finding out it had actually given him the first win of his career … and meeting team owner Felix Sabates for the first time. Then, host Rick Houston and Rambo break down the August 6, 1987 issue of Grand National Scene, which features a cover story on testing limits and a Photo Bio of a certain up-and-coming crew member.

EPISODE 78 -- KYLE PETTY PART 1 Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

Kyle Petty is a lot of things to a lot of people, and in the first of our three-part interview, he's an exceptional interview as always. Petty talks about growing up in NASCAR, having never known a time when the sport wasn't a part of his life. Heir apparent to the sport's most famous family, it was his mother Lynda, not father Richard, who was the most competive. Finally, he discusses the expectations of being Richard Petty's son. In our segment, former Cale Yarborough Motorsports crew member joins host Rick Houston to remember the late John Andretti.
