Learn about his thoughts on the 2001 Daytona victory when we lost Dale Earnhardt, his love of the sport, and his dedication to not only being a steward of racing history, but also his involvement in broadcasting to keep the future of the sport as an important aspect of the American experience.
In Senator Stanley’s Leaning Right moment, sponsored by Senator Stanley’s college roommate Tom Graziano and his Farmville restaurant Charley’s Waterfront Café, Bill and Hermie discuss Virginia Gov. Youngkin’s unique and powerful initiatives to create private/public partnerships to save and revitalize Petersburg, one of the great historical cities of Virginia. Sadler and the Senator then relive “private citizen” Hermie’s foray into local politics and the speech he made at a local county’s Republican Committee (and the petty politics of those that may challenge him in a primary), as he determines whether to throw his hat in the ring for the newly created 17th District for the Virginia State Senate.
And in Hermie’s Turning Left moment, sponsored by Stanley’s wife’s company Vista Installations, the boys talk about the races at Watkins Glen, the insertion of F1 racers into the cup race, the finish between Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott, and the good showing by our friend Chris Rice’s team Kaulig Racing in both the Xfinity and Cup races with AJ Allmendinger. Hermie also discusses the charter system, and how the racing would be even better if the Michael Waltrip Racing Team was still a force in NASCAR®.
In this week’s episode, Sadler and the Senator have the privilege of interviewing one of the greatest people to ever walk this Good Earth, NASCAR® great and Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip, in a compelling and honest talk about his life in stock car racing and his place in history in the sport.
