EPISODE 195 -- TIM BREWER PART 2
from The Scene Vault Podcast Hosted by Rick Houston
This week in the second installment of our interview with longtime … and outspoken … NASCAR crew chief Tim Brewer, Tim talks about his move to M.C. Anderson and why he considers that to be the biggest mistake of his career. He also guides us through some tumultuous years financially with Blue Max Racing and Tim Richmond, during which it was left to HIM to cover checks to keep the team going. Then it was back to Junior Johnson & Associates, to work with drivers Neil Bonnett, Terry Labonte and Geoff Bodine. And … yes … Tim talks about some of the … let’s just call ‘em rules interpretations he made over the years. That led to a couple of quotes that go STRAIGHT to the top of our favorites over the years on this show. Hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid then dig into the September 9, 1982 issue of Grand National Scene. Cale Yarborough scores the fifth Southern 500 victory of his career, with rumors circulating that his car owner … M.C. Anderson … wanted him to run for the 1983 Winston Cup championship. The win comes after a heated late-race battle with Richard Petty, during which sheet metal WAS traded back and forth several times. There’s also a story on a couple of NASCAR movies that were in production at the time … and … finally … a piece on the whuppings drivers had received over the years.
