The Pursuit To Be The Fastest Is What Propelled Waddell Wilson Forward | Dale Jr. Download
Publicado 2024-02-28
Waddell explains that at the suggestion of a friend, he went to inquire about a job at the famed Holman-Moody race team, which at the time was Ford’s manufacturing arm in NASCAR. After a chance meeting with owner John Holman, Waddell was thrown into the most challenging area of the shop: the engine room. He passed an initiation of sorts and over time developed into one of NASCAR’s greatest engine-building minds. Waddell went on to build engines for and work with some of NASCAR’s greatest drivers, and he fills listeners in on the characters inside the helmet like Fireball Roberts, Bobby Allison, and Buddy Baker. Finally, Dale gets to pick Waddell’s brain about the legendary “Gray Ghost” Oldsmobile that helped Ranier Racing and Buddy Baker be a dominant force at superspeedways in 1979 and ‘80.

Fantastic interview, Little E! Waddell is so sharp at his age, most of us can only hope to be as good as he is today! Truly one who has forgotten more than most ever knew! Good job, Jr! (Little E!)

I went to Nashville Auto Diesel Collage. They do an excellent job teaching the details of building engines. I'm a 73 year old retired mechanic and armature race car driver

thanks for having Waddell Wilson on to the show. When I was on my Daytona 500 watch-a-thon from December 2019 to this month, i was always nice to have Waddell get some TV time during the old races. Let's have Tim Brewer in!
-
Great job loved listening to the old stories and he sure doesn't look 87 years old
-
I was lucky enough to see the 83 500 in person. I remember that I didn’t think it was all that great of a race then! But as the decades have gone by I’m so proud to be able to say…..I was there!

The stories about what they did to the cars back then will always remain my favorite
