  • Summary

  • In the third and final installment of our interview, Mike Trower talks about his decision to leave Hendrick Motorsports not long after the departure of legendary crew chief Ray Evernham … and how that meant winning another Daytona 500 with Dale Jarrett and Robert Yates Racing. And, as it turned out with Mike, you CAN go back home again. He returned to Hendrick Motorsports to change tires for Jimmie Johnson. You guessed it … he won ANOTHER couple of championship rings with Jimmie. We then dive into the September 30, 1999 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Rumors were running rampant that Ray Evernham was on his way out at Hendrick Motorsports … AND he’d also spoken at a recent NASA awards ceremony at the Cape in Florida. Mark Martin scores his first win of the Winston Cup season on what was a really good day for MOST of Roush Racing. We’ve got kind of a dubious Rick Mast Report from Dover … and Darrell Waltrip complains about not getting enough provisional starting positions. Casey Atwood wins at Dover, while Dale Earnhardt Jr and Matt Kenseth have at it on the backstretch … actually, Dale has at it … and Matt pays the price. NASCAR hammers Greg Biffle for a truck series infraction at Las Vegas, a penalty that would eventually cost him that year’s truck championship. Felix Sabates has a difference of opinion with track president Denis McGlynn on Dover’s facilities. Finally … the more things change, the more they stay the same … the NASCAR family responds to the devastation of a major hurricane that hit eastern North Carolina.
