- 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.
Ole Wrecky Rudd! He was and is one tough sob! Never was a ford guy but I always liked to see him run well and rooted for him. He’s one of the good guys
i meet ricky and his dad back in 1979 when he came to the school i was training at. lots of great stories
Ricky is such a class act, great interview
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.
Email me at rick@thescenevault.com and I’ll send you a scan of the letter.
Love the interview with ricky rudd hopefully one day you should get Jim long, Bill ingle, and gary DeHart on the show for future interviews down the line considering that all 3 of them got their first nascar win with ricky rudd
We have interviews with Bill ingle and Gary DeHart already in the can, but haven’t had a chance to run them yet.
@TheSceneVault interesting looking forward down the line now you just need get in contact with Jim Long, considering he was responsible for rudds biggest career win the 1997 brickyard 400
Also if possible in the future if you can get to interview richard broome considering he gave ricky his nickname rooster
They didn’t call him Rooster for nothing one tough guy his big roll in Bud Moores Tbird was incredible and then they taped his eyes open for the 500
Ole Rudd could drive with anybody clean like martin.
Ricky Crud Just joking. Ricky Rudd is one of my all time heros. He's is a real man.
Awesome interview! Ricky, if you ever do read this, theres so many race car drivers that have the highest respect for you and what you accomplished. . Start to finish history will always say about you "well done " (there was that one time when you should have beat Harvick's juvenile hyde but you took the high road, as usual)
Thanks For Uploading Rick And Steve
I love it when you both are asking questions! Great job and awesome video!
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. 👍
@18:58, Gary Nelson confirmed that it was used more than once on DJD.
When I was listening. And you said you had scan all the Grand National scene. News papers back then. How can we go back and look at them on line I used to love to read them.
We’re working on that … I promise.
Used to love when the Scene would show up in the mail.
@@waggitnshaggit6592 Subscriptions to Scene was a standing Christmas present from my dad for years. Loved it!!
No offence but Ricky is wrong about a couple of things. Firstly, no kart at qll in the 60s was dping 120mph. And secondly, no midget has 800/900 horsepower, and they certainly are not driven by 12 year olds.
