Radio Origins 2: The Birth of MRN (w/ Joe Moore!)
Beginning in 1970, Motor Racing Network began as a new entity with a mission to bring NASCAR events to race fans via radio on a national scale.

Episode No. 82 of "A lifetime in Motorsports" focuses on a visit with Moore and as he discusses his years with the ne...

The Very First Talladega
In September of 1969, NASCAR's founder, Bill France, Sr., had a very big problem on his hands. He had built the 2.66-mile Alabama International Motor Speedway near Talladega, Alabama that could generate the fastest stock cars in the world. What would keep that from happening was the fact that there were no tires that were strong enough to handle the 190-mile per hour speeds the cars could generate. They were blistering in three to five laps and making drivers very nervous with every lap completed. NASCAR historians Ben White and Jerry Bonkowski explore that weekend as it unfolded and bring...

The Origins of NASCAR Radio (w/ Dave Moody!)
Since the very early days of NASCAR's existence, public address and radio broadcasts of races have been a huge part of the sport. Long before television coverage became commonplace, local public address announcers at tracks and then radio networks were the only source for finding out what was going on at weekly NASCAR events. Some of the greatest radio announcers in the sport's history kept fans informed lap after lap about their favorite drivers and where they stacked up as far as track position. Some even made the greatest calls of race finishes in the sport's history that can st...

The Ballad of Waltrip & Yarborough (w/ Jeff Hammond!)

The Art of Race Promotion (w/ Humpy Wheeler!)
Promoting races is so incredibly important to the auto racing industry. From the very early days of NASCAR, getting the word out was done by way of window posters, radio commercials and of course, loyal fan followings of drivers and teams that keep fans coming back year after year. Without a doubt, selling a race ticket is an art form and has been since NASCAR's first Cup Series race on June 19, 1949.

The Lost Origin of Paint Schemes (w/ Historian Buz McKim!)
Professional painters used to letter race cars in the early days of NASCAR with a variety of colors and brushes of various shapes and sizes. It was the way it was done, wherever the NASCAR Grand National tour visited short tracks or superspeedways. The local sign painters were on standby ready to help get cars ready when last minute sponsors needed their names and logos put on their quarter panels and hoods.

The Quest for Perfect Timing
Keeping up with where cars were on a race track was a daunting task in the early days of NASCAR, especially when there were as many as 75 circling such tracks as Darlington (S.C.) Raceway during the inaugural Southern 500 on Sept. 4, 1950. There had to be a way to keep up with the running order with so many cars circling the track. In the early days, NASCAR's founder Bill France, Sr. looked into several plans before settling on a simple yet effective way to keep the running order intact for an entire event without controversy. Still, there were times when hur...

Illegal Wins: The History of Disqualifications (feat. Ken Martin of NASCAR Productions)
During the very early days of NASCAR's existence, drivers and car owners looked for any way possible to gain advantages that at times led to race wins. NASCAR officials immediately looked at their cars and wasted little time finding problems when they arose after leaving victory lane. On seven occasions, wins were taken away and given to second-place drivers. In the early 1960s, NASCAR's founder, Bill France Sr. stopped the practice of taking wins away and elected to take points away and levy hefty fines. His reasoning was that fans should leave the track knowing which driver was the...

The Toughest Stock Car Driver That Ever Lived
When Cale Yarborough was growing up near Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, in Timmonsville, S.C., the allure of the 1.366-mile speedway was just too difficult to ignore.

When the gates finally opened for qualifying 10 days before the green flag waved over the inaugural Southern 500 on Sept. 4, 1950, the 1.25-mile superspeedway was all the rage among the people of Darlington County, S.C. It was the one entity that would put Darlington, S.C. and Florence, S.C. on the regional and national map. Eventually, over a period of 70 years, the track "...
