This week’s installment of our conversation with Robbie Reiser is pretty much all Matt Kenseth, all the time. Robbie gives us the background on hiring Matt, struggling that season to come up with sponsorship for Matt, borrowing money to start the 1998 season out with Matt … and then Matt’s momentous first win in the Busch Series.
We then take a look through the newly digitized July 28, 1983 issue of Grand National Scene.
Tim Richmond has a premonition that he’s going to win at Pocono … and that’s exactly what he does. Co-host Steve Waid outs the eating habits of photographer David Chobat and Bill “The Hat Man” Brodrick before discussing a LONG list of places where he liked to dine.
Fellow columnists Jack Flowers and Alexis Leras add their two cents on future superstars and alternate careers for various competitors, and there’s a feature on Bob Laird, who served as Buddy Arrington’s jackman and fan club organizer.
