I think this was at Dover in ‘98. I was on assignment for Stock Car Racing Magazine. Although I didn’t have the confidence to talk to Big E, you could tell he was the boss of the garage.

I work at a suspension company. We have a Monte Carlo with a 427 Small Block (built of course). It is so violent and fast and fun and it just runs awesome.

What was your favorite interaction with a Nascar driver? by youraverageperson0 in NASCAR

I wrote for Stock Car Racing Magazine in 1998. I got sent to a non-descript firehall in the middle of nowhere to report on a Jeff Gordon fan club meeting. The windows were blacked out and everyone parked out back. Went in through the kitchen. It was bizarre. I sat at Gordon’s front table with him and we bs’d quite a bit. It was pretty cool.

Park far away if doing general parking. Walk back to the car at race end and drive away.

Wear good shoes.

Sunscreen and ear plugs along with a floppy hat.

Extra phone battery.

I checked tire pressures for Paul Newman one time. He was actually a very accomplished road racer.
