NOTE: This is a remastered version of a previously released episode, featuring improved sound.
In the epic third and final installment of our interview with longtime NASCAR crew chief Tim Brewer, Tim talks about his and Junior Johnson’s 1991 suspension after a big engine was found in their car at Charlotte. He also remembers Bill Elliott coming on board with the team in 1992 … the early success … the crushing disappointment of losing out on that year’s championship ... and an acrimonious split with Junior Johnson.
And if you thought Tim didn’t hold anything back in the first two installments of our interview … THIS episode is truly something to behold.

Hearing Brewer describe his last days working for Junior Johnson, sure seems to lend credibility to Bobby Allison's version of 1972 & his own mis-communications with Junior. Great interview !

I try to watch all of these interviews once. But Tim Brewer is the only 1 Ill watch a 2nd time. He's about the best story teller in Nascar. Maybe Brewer should write a book.

They have never gave a car owner that servere of penalty....on a engine...being illegal.....i mean making them Jr put the car in another name....change numbers etc....and not to mention it was not a points paying race...i enjoy hearing Tim....one of best ever..

I hope all the people at home understand when he says "I"..that means the fab guys...or the chassis guys. He didn't do it. Now he told them guys what to do...but there were guys in the trenches doing the work. But he is a legend

People need to listen till the end before they comment on how arrogant they think Tim Brewer is…A) he is a character and tremendously entertaining storyteller and B) damn right he is arrogant, he won 2 Cup Champions

Rick, you have to have him back a third time and ask him about why he went back to work with Bodine in 1997 and also about that year when him and Pat Tryson got into it at the spring Bristol race and Pat left in the middle of the race from the pit box

If Bill could’ve kept Brewer as his crew chief he would’ve had another championship. Maybe even two if Junior would’ve let Tim do his job.

who was jb raines? also how come nobody ever talks about the fact terry labonte stayed out and led a lap in 92 at atlanta? i think then they would have tied on laps led so what happens then? i assume both get the 10 so you still have kulwicki as champion. unless they only give them both 5 oh no wait still alan champ.

5 wins would have broke tie bill champion stupid mistake by brewer JV Reins was engine builder for junior at his shop Tim also screened up on Phoenix not changing engine before rsacr start And daytona 500to11 13:05 dominant car Lap 102 Ernie irvan wiped out 11/22 running first and second That codyca lot of points

Juniors personal life became very complicated in 1992 with his split from flosssie and marriage to lisa Brewer had worked with flossie to take the teams off junior in the settlement and junior would not ldtvtgst happen lesfibgvtivtge sale of the team Junior had lowes as his sponsor in his final season which would have been interesting - but junior saw the nascar play book and wanted no psrtbog it Plus Brewer did not pit with kulwicki on the final stop of Atlanta vodyibg them vhsnoionship That's fact of demise It's a shame Brewer is a legend but will never get the recognition and burned to many😊 bridges
