I found one of the Buddy Baker interviews. go to www.racersreuniontv.com...When that thing loads, you'll see a little menu icon in the lower right corner, click it to display the menu and look for Buddy Baker in Dawsonville. I think it is the 24th or 25th video.

I'll dig 'em up, Jim and post them. The actually may be here somewhere. I know they are also in the radio archives...somewhere..lol.
I love the way Waddell recounts the last (gas n go) pit stop as he was trying to time the fueling while holding onto Buddy's uniform...didn't work. Lead Foot left early but still had enough fuel...as y'all know...to win.
The Name Game
General
...and another pet peeve of mine is the "Nationwide Series". The only identity this series has now is that of the sponsor. Think about that for a minute. I know we all used to call it the Busch Series when it had the Grand National identity, but that's no reason to take away the series own identity.
The Name Game
General
Hey, I have a huge issue with this...especially in the Cups series... the guys that won Winston Cup Championships are Winston Cup Champs to me...not Sprint Cup Champions. This retro-active naming rights thing gets really confusing when the name is applied to something that took place before that company even existed.
CAN ANYONE NAME THE TRACK THIS WAS FILMED AT??
