EPISODE 166 -- BILL BRODRICK PART 2

Published: Oct. 13, 2021, 10 a.m.

This week in the second and final installment of our interview with Bill \u201cThe Hat Man\u201d Brodrick, he takes a little trip down memory lane about NASCAR's first trip to Australia for the first NASCAR exhibition race. He also talks about the legendary Unocal 76 Racestoppers program and his unceremonious release after nearly 29 years with the company. In our second segment, we leaf through the October 6, 1983 issue of Grand National Scene, which featured coverage of that fall\u2019s North Wilkesboro event won by Darrell Waltrip with the help of new-fangled ... and not much liked ... power steering. There were also some hot rumors about Junior Johnson \u2026 Budweiser \u2026 Darrell Waltrip \u2026 Coor\u2019s \u2026 Richard Childress \u2026 Piedmont Airlines \u2026 Terry Labonte \u2026 Billy Hagan \u2026 Dale Earnhardt \u2026 Rick Hendrick(s?!?) \u2026 Wrangler ... and Petty Enterprises.
