The Scene Vault PodcastShow Notes
NOTE: Co-host Steve Waid is under the weather and won't be on the podcast this week. At this point, we're not quite sure when he might be able to return. Prayers would be sincerely appreciated.
This week, in the third and final installment of our interview, Jeffrey Baker tells us about a fuel incident at Talladega, a penalty the very next week at California, an ACRIMONIOUS split with Jeremy Mayfield, and being man enough to apologize to Mike Wallace.
Hosts Rick Houston and Tony Liberati then dig into the November 1, 2001, issue of Winston Cup Scene.

There are actually FOUR big races that weekend. Cup, Busch, Truck … and trying to get from the track to Game One of the World Series.
Martinsville Speedway’s Mike Smith shares a FANTASTIC memory of Dale Earnhardt, and … finally … this issue raises an age-old question: Team Dave or Team Sammy? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
