The Scene Vault Podcast -- Harold Holly on Alan Kulwicki, Michael Waltrip's BIG Accidents

In the first of what will be three installments of our conversation, Harold Holly talks about the impact of hanging out with his PeeWee football coach … and more importantly … that coach’s race car. Harold breaks into the sport with fellow Alabama native Mickey Gibbs.
A break from the sport doesn’t last very long, and Harold winds up doing math on the run for the late, great Alan Kulwicki before going to work for Bahari Racing and driver Michael Waltrip.
And Harold was RIGHT THERE as Michael endured a REALLY tough month in the spring of 1990.

Harold was a blessing to me in December 88 as I attempted to part time at Alan’s shop in Concord driving down from up state NY. Harold schooled me on how to handle myself around Kulwicki. He was probably the reason I barely made it. Among other things I eventually did tires also. Thank you Harold for being my fist mentor in Cup. Billy Ingle also was a great and kind mentor to me in 89.

Great interview. Never knew Harold Holly was a fellow Alabamian. He seems like he's a real dedicated worker & speaks from the heart.

I so miss Bias Ply. The good ol' days. My memories of Bahari. So many cars in the stable with so little success. And the whole sticker thing made them look less.
