Newly elected NASCAR Hall of Famer Ricky Rudd joins us for an in-depth look at the earliest days of his career, when he went STRAIGHT from motocross to the Winston Cup circuit, with NO in between to get him prepped and ready.
He talks about the struggles he faced with his family owned team; leaving Nelson Malloch for SAFETY reasons; his take-it-or-leave-it salary at DiGard AND going to drive for Richard Childress Racing.

Rick and Steve, Ricky was the only driver that I remembered at Junie Donlavey’s memorial service.

Can't recall exactly the year but I believe he was just now starting out with Bud Moore and he came by the car lot I worked at he was wholesaling a car I can't recall the car but we bought it from him. His dad had the junkyard and I guess he was still hustling. Anyways my brother graduated with him and I graduated with Ricky's sister. Good times I didn't know he will become the star he was but it was cool. 👍

I wrote a letter to the editor in 1990 while deployed to Desert Shield, and WCS printed my letter and mailing address. I received tons of mail and one letter was from a Stephen Love from Florence, SC who offered to take me to Darlington. I accepted his offer when i returned from overseas and Ricky Rudd won that race in the Spring of 1991.

I’m in the process of scanning every issue and found your letter!

@@TheSceneVault oh wow...I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. I wish I could just tell all those great fans and teams how much I appreciated their letters. I got letters from the Talladega ticket office ladies, Phil and Marcia Parsons sent care packages as well as the father of Rob Moroso's girlfriend. Thank you WCS.
