Episode 254 -- Jeff Green on Dale Earnhardt Incorporated and His Path to Busch Series Glory

In the first of what will be a two-part interview, Jeff Green talks about his high-school days with Michael Waltrip, his roller-coaster years with Dale Earnhardt Incorporated’s new full-time Busch Series program and finally reaching victory lane with Diamond Ridge Motorsports. We then dig into the March 20, 1997 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Bruton Smith sits down with newly elected National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Famer Deb Williams for an extensive Q&A, while Jeff Green scores the first win of his Busch Series career in the division’s inaugural race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, America’s racing showplace … and a track that truly cares about NASCAR history. Joe Nemechek learns of a devastating crash involving his brother John just before the start of that race at Vegas. There are features on spotters, Buck Baker, the relationship between Busch Series team owner Robbie Reiser and snow-mobile racer Tim Bender AND a look back on Darlington’s history going into its final race on its original configuration.
