Episode 231 -- Duze's Purple-Carpeted Toolbox and Jimmy Horton's Wild Ride

NOTE: Be sure to subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform! In the second installment of our larger-than-life interview with Steve Dluzniewski, the Duze talks about his love for music, his purple-carpeted toolbox, his adventurous move South to seek his fame and fortune in big-time automobile racing and one of the most infamous wrecks in NASCAR history … Jimmy “Air” Horton’s tumble over the wall at Talladega. For our second segment, we’re going to do things a little differently. Rather than paging through an old issue of Grand National/Winston Cup Scene, hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid dig into their own personal memory banks to discuss the 1993 DieHard 500 at Talladega. That event featured the return of Robert Yates Racing following the tragic loss of Davey Allison; Neil Bonnett's return to competition and a subsequent tumble through the trioval; a multicar crash that saw Jimmy Horton flip completely over the outside retaining wall and Stanley Smith critically injured; and ... finally ... a paper-thin margin of victory by Dale Earnhardt over Ernie Irvan.
