Episode 286 -- Shawn Parker on Jeff Gordon's Pet Snake, Ray Evernham's Work Ethic

Over the course of the next three episodes, our listeners will get to know Shawn Parker, who was one of Jeff Gordon’s original Rainbow Warrior pit crew members. Shawn also worked for Penske Racing and Rusty Wallace; Roush Racing and Mark Martin; and Dale Jarrett. He then takes us on a journey that is one of the most emotional that we’ve ever featured here on The Scene Vault Podcast. This week, Shawn talks about getting into NASCAR with Jeff Gordon, where he’s very reluctantly introduced to Jeff’s pet python snake. He gives us his view on what it was like to work for Ray Evernham and go over the wall for the first time in NASCAR’s greatest race.
