This week in the second installment of our interview, Donnie Richeson goes from Whitcomb to Sabco Racing, where he has a front-row seat for all the goodness that was Kyle Petty and Felix Sabates.

He then gets the chance to serve as crew chief for Brett Bodine … and at the time … Donnie and Brett were married to twin sisters. And … there’s talk of Dale Earnhardt going to drive for Kenny Bernstein.

We then tackle the December 12, 1991 issue of Winston Cup Scene.

Dale Earnhardt celebrates his fifth Winston Cup championship at the banquet in New York City, but even though nobody knows it at the time, crew chief Kirk Shelmerdine’s time with Richard Childress Racing is beginning to wind down.

During the banquet, Dale gives a head nod to THE biggest PERSONAL controversy of his career. There’s talk of shortening races beginning in 1992 and a look back on the 1979 championship battle between Richard Petty and Darrell Waltrip.

And … Steve Waid proceeds to take pot shots at basically everybody in the garage.
