Episode 328 -- Tony Rambo Liberati on Racing Roots, the United States Marine Corps and Getting Into NASCAR With Richard Petty

We return this week with a vengeance! Enjoy the first of what will be a three-part series with Tony "Rambo" Liberati. Rambo began his NASCAR career on a whim while still serving in the United States Marine Corps and he's been involved in the sport in one way or another ever since. We then dig into the April 16, 1987 issue of Grand National Scene. Dale Earnhardt wins at Bristol, but not before he has to come back from a flat tire AND a run-in with Sterling Marlin. Richard Petty finishes second, while Harry Gant gets help from the grand ol’ master, Herb Nab on the way to the pole and a top-10 finish that weekend. There’s a fantastic feature on Judy Parrott, Buddy’s wife, and Jack Ingram feels the heat from the long arm of the law.
