Episode 361 -- Derrike Cope on the Fluke Label and His Car's Infamous Watkins Glen Explosion

This week in the third and final installment of our interview, Derrike Cope talks about his relationship … or lack thereof … with Dale Earnhardt and talk that his win in the 1990 Daytona 500 was nothing more than a fluke. We then tackle the June 7, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Derrike Cope wins at Dover ... and nobody has anything snarky to say about this one. Larry Pearson’s fledgling Winston Cup career takes a massive hit when the team owned by his dad, the legendary David Pearson, is forced to shut down due to the lack of a sponsor. Finally, Joe Whitlock has his say about the state of journalism. NOTE: This show is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.
