Episode 283 -- Troy Selberg on Blowing Up Fuel Cells and Leaving NASCAR
This week in the third and final installment of our interview, Troy Selberg tries to blow up his race car and then makes one of his teammates hide in the garage overnight to repair the damage. He then remembers the job offer that go away before turning his attention to how a very straightforward observation from his wife led to him getting out of the sport altogether. We then tackle the January 20, 1994 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Troy Selberg is featured on the cover of this issue along with several other crew chiefs, but he’s nowhere to be found IN the issue. The preseason issue also includes stories on the big-game hunting exploits of Richard Childress and Wally Dallenbach, as well as a piece on Elisa Allison, Clifford’s widow. We also get a column on Rick Mast as well as news that Winston Cup Scene would be sponsoring the Busch Series most popular driver award and on what David Pearson thought of the modern driver.

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.

Episode 281 -- Troy Selberg on Growing Up in Racing, Entrepreneurship
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.

Episode 265 -- Bobby Burrell on the Pit Stop That Changed NASCAR
We hear this week from Bobby Burrell, who was the tire changer for Ricky Rudd who sustained serious injuries when he was hit on pit road at Homestead near the end of the 2001 season.
