Episode 332 -- Jamie McMurray on His Miracle Winston Cup Win, Mental Skills and the Best NASCAR Finish Nobody Remembers

After a quick chat with the soon-to-be retired Chris Powell, president and general manager of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Jamie McMurray tells about that miracle first Winston Cup win at Charlotte and driving as a substitute for the injured Sterling Marlin. He also talks about the mental side of the sport … and if anybody should be talking about being mental … it’s the hosts of The Scene Vault Podcast. We then dig into the October 17, 2002 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Jamie McMurray wins the Winston Cup race at Charlotte … which was a HUGE shock. Jeff Burton wins the Busch Series race at Charlotte … which was anything BUT a shock. Jeff’s mad about racing back to the caution and his Roush Racing teammate is mad about racing … period … while not being able to see out of his windshield. Finally … co-host Steve Waid INSISTS that there was NO WAY that the point system that was in place at the time was going to change.
