Show Notes
Jeff Hensley remembers how a random conversation at Martinsville led to sponsorship for the next SIX YEARS … AND a Busch Series championship.
But before all that can take place … he and driver Chuck Bown nearly freeze to death at a rest stop. Hubert Hensley had told his boy to fix the truck they were in … but did he listen?!? NOOOOOOOOO …
We then check out the May 10, 1990 issue of Winston Cup Scene.
Dale Earnhardt FINALLY wins at Talladega in a race that saw Greg Sacks come fairly close to pulling off the SECOND major upset of his career. Neil Bonnett announces that he won’t be able to race for another year after he sustained a serious head injury earlier in the year at Darlington.
And … it’s a battle of the Hensleys at South Boston.
