In our conversation with NASCAR Hall of Famer Mark Martin, Mark talks about his memories of the construction of his beloved JR51 chassis, preparations for the first Winston Cup race at Las Vegas and his laser-focused intensity that \u2026 in all honesty \u2026 took away from his enjoyment of winning races. He also remembers Ford\u2019s dominance that day and the reaction of both General Motors AND NASCAR, as well as some of the rocky moments from early in his racing career.

Hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid then take a deep dive into the March 5, 1998 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Mark Martin wins the inaugural Winston Cup race at Las Vegas and appears on the cover of this issue with Wayne Newton and \u2026 much to his chagrin, apparently ... a couple of Las Vegas showgirls. Fords DOMINATE the race \u2026 much to Dale Earnhardt and General Motors\u2019 CHAGRIN.

News items detail an autograph session that nearly got out of hand, Kyle Petty\u2019s motorcycle accident on the way to the race, NASCAR\u2019s banning of burnouts and Kevin Harvick\u2019s first Winston WEST win. There\u2019s also a feature on the THEN-unheralded Matt Kenseth.
