Introducing the second chapter of Dirty Mode Media's next level with Andrew Curlin.
For two days our team traveled to Waterbury, Vermont, to speak to one of NASCAR's most iconic voices, Ken Squire.
The first installment of Andrew's conversation with Ken is coming soon to our Dirty Mode Media platforms.
Here's a preview.
Racing is full of daredevils.
Part of it was that brave enough to die thing.
which fit absolutely in
with all those kids coming home
from the Pacific and from Europe.
It is going to be a land rush to decide the Daytona 500
down to the inside every so often
to scoop some fresh air into the automobile
because the gauges begin to roll around
and get red and rosy out there.
Bill France, Sr., with a dream to start NASCAR,
what do you remember in conversations with him
about his early visions?
for what he wanted the sport to be.
You see them.
Johnny Upsbutt, hand grenades the engine.
It detonates right at the start-finish line.
There's a reason why a very large percentage
of the people that made it announcing races,
and the reason is tent.
They're gobbling it up into Carnivor 88
to keep the engine cool for that final assault.
Common man doing uncommon deeds,
and they weren't going to fool around to fuss
with anything that didn't have some teeth.
With what looked like a prepared finish,
how do you put together something
and you bring Richard Piddy home first?
And there's a fight between Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison.
The tempers overflowing.
They're angry. They know they have lost.
The race was over, and you have this wallop-a-loosia of the finish, right?
And then the principals in the story
come back on stage.
one more round and they really got after each other.
And probably for right for reasons.
Vermont's a good place to be from.
It's not a rich state.
You can't beat Vermont.
I love it and I love the people.
But I guess everybody feels that way about where they're from.
But I really feel it here.
And all I am is a talker, which lets me know what I really am.
Now I'm so glad to talk to you.
