That is a hell of a story. And a good lesson to settle things, forgive, put them in the past, and move forward.

I just love the humbleness of these guys.

Now that's my roots. I ran a lower class but I watched Freddy and Jack race a lot and I was there that night when that race happened. Very memorable

Living in Texas some of these guys I've never heard of, but love that Jr sheds light on the drivers he looked up to. Almost adding to their legacy by spreading their stories.

The old Shoney's across from the hospital, yep my Dad always took us for a Hot Fudge Cake after the Concord race. Good times & memories.

One of my favorite things about this show is learning about guys like Freddie. Good stuff

I especially liked the part about him being invited to the Christmas party. I'm sure whatever was discussed kinda cemented a lifelong friendship.

That is cool seeing and hearing more about Freddie. He was the electrical class teacher when I was at South Rowan.

This is so awesome, Freddie is the best!! He is my favorite driver that became a friend, I love him and Elaine to pieces!!!

I can't believe I'm just now finding this video. I was at an All Pro race at Bristol in the early 2000s, Freddie was pitted in the stall beside us. He is one cool cat.

Kelley's shirt💚 Love how he often expresses his brotherly love and appreciation!🙏

Sometimes I Think You Can't Get Any Better On Guest But This One Is Great. Love Hearing The Stories From Your Racing History And In Your Area Is Awesome. Being 46 Only Ran Dirt Wish I Could Have been In Your Area To Experience All Of The Racers And Stories. Great Job Dale Keeping The History Alive.

Those races were epic. Freddy was definitely one of the best . Concord Motorsports Park is truly missed .

You two fellers are really good at interviewing people. Y'all ask the right questions and the important questions. I love it.

Freddie I hope you and Elaine (and Michelle) are well. You have no idea how much of an impression you made on me. Even though it’s been 20 years since I’ve been around you I think of you and your sweet wife often and have very fond memories of you both.

These convos are gold. Thanks, Jr. Sandi

Although I watched Freddie hundreds of times on dirt, I’ve never once seen him race on asphalt! He was a master in a dirt late model for sure! Back in the NDRA days! An incident I’ll never forget from one Sunday afternoon in the 80’s at Concord Speedway, Freddie was leading when two cars had tangled halfway down the backstretch and wound up against the outside wall (guardrail?). The flag man evidently didn’t see them and no yellow was thrown. Freddie, in that great red Coors car, sailed by the wrecked cars for two laps, but the third time it was like he aimed for them, and he nailed those sitting cars at full throttle! The race was red flagged due to the massive destruction that had occurred, and when they finally got the remains of his race car back to the pits accompanied by a bloody faced Freddie, the flag man had come down for some reason and Freddie’s wife attacked the guy for not throwing the caution! She flew into him with the same intensity that her hubby had hit those stopped cars!

Excellent story. I never heard of Freddie before but really enjoyed him. Whoever picked him for the show did an excellent job. Thanks for giving us a peak into the past of local racing. i can't wait to listen to the Podcast to hear the entire episode

"I didn't intend for it to happen in public"... lol

Freddie was THE MAN at Concord in those Super Late Models, I watched him dominate so many times. Always wondered where he was at these days, glad to see him doing well and can't wait to hear the entire podcast.

I got in a fight at a shoneys bathroom in Buford ga. After a race that went bad for me at Lanier raceway back in 87’ , this story made me proud.

Wow great interview and love these short track stories from great drivers.

Love this interview. The stories behind the stories are awesome and it's AWESOME to hear it from the actual person involved 🤗💞😂😁 These stories are what helps make racing extra special 💞🤗🏁🙏🙏🙏 Thanks Dale!! 👍 🤗💞🤗🙏

I miss the old Concord track. I remember all the old guys that ran there. Love the stories. Keep them coming.

As Chris Rock said, "Ain't nobody above an *ss whoopin'!". Respect brother, well handled, thanks for sharing that story. Jr is a better interviewer than all the late night wags. Excellent 👍

I definitely remember Freddie being the man at Concord. Shame that place is gone. Friday nights my dad Sy and I would go race karts at the 1/5 and 1/4 mile and then Saturday we would go watch the races at the big track as he was building motors for some of the guys there.

Freddie was such a great driver. Thanks to djd more people can hear there story.

You'd never be able to tell a judge a story about why you hit somebody over a race any place but in Charlotte

Great story!

I got to watch Freddy and Sprague go at it during the final 30 or so laps of a Big 10 race one night from a distant third thinking the whole time i would wind up either 1st or 2nd. Every lap they had each other sideways from the tri oval the the funnel exit on to the front straight but this must have been before the night Freddy mentioned here, cuz Sprague wound up in the fence coming off the funnel with a couple to go and I tore the radiator out of mine when i caught his left rear qtr panel. Cant remember who drove the C&C Boiler sponsored car but I think he and Renfrow wound up 2nd and 3rd behind Query. And yea, Faggart was a dirty effer on the track but in the pits he was a meek lil wuss, all 140 lbs of him. Query on the other hand, he's a man's man. Freddy if you read this, glad to see you in good health and looking good ole man.

Great interview

AWESOME Interview!!!!

Back in the middle 90's, if my old mind is correct, I watched Freddie make up a couple of laps, at Jefferson Speedway in Georgia, mostly under the green flag and almost win the Late Model race. He drove the wheels off that car that night.

These interviews are precious treasures. This is important and entertaining work you are doing.

Excellent guest! Great ending.

Thank you for the video.

Great content thanks for sharing

Keep up the great work guys great show

Dang guys, GREAT show!!

Great one there!

Really great story / interview.

Such a crazy story! Talk about burying the hatchet. If this story was about two women they would probably still be back and forth to court even today.

I like that guy !! Great interview !!

I knew Sprague and his family when he lived in West MI...... He still has a bunch of relatives in Muskegon , MI area.

I remember the fight. We used to run a car in the same division as Freddie & Robbie and some of us would go to Shoneys in Concord after the race. Boy, this has been awhile back. Alot of good racers at Concord back in those days. Ernie Irvan actually use to drive a Terminal Trucking car there.

Great clip

Freddie must be a heck of a guy such that he could beat somebody on the track, and beat them in the head in a Shoney’s bathroom, and they still want to be his friend.

I finding that I like about every one of these guys and gals.

I love your t-shirt that’s old School your sister Kelly Freaking awesome Dale

If you can't have a good ol' fight amongst friends - everybody would just be an enemy...

I remember that screaming 6cyl at Cherokee. If I remember correctly, he ran with the slm one night. He bruised a few feelings.

The nature of competition is a rivalry. When it gets personal and add drama, that’d be a feud…

Watched this guy dominate at Concord Speedway through the 90s and early 00s.....he was always the one everybody wanted to beat Watched Freddie battle with Rich Bickle, Jack Sprauge, Robbie Faggart and many more over the years

That’s a cool story. Love it.

When he said racing off the right rear instead of the right front i wonder how many watching this understood that comment

Now I don't believe we need to get the courts involved, but Freddie has the same mindset I would have in that situation with Robbie. I'm NOT gonna trash my race car to teach you a lesson, but I'll trash every knuckle on both fists to teach you...

You looking at a wheel man right there. Freddie was one driving sob

9:57 racin’ might be rubbin’ but it’s much more fun as a fan enjoying a Mark Martin or a Lake Speed making quick laps than watching stupid contact. There’s a difference between moving someone and wrecking things. You might get the trophy and the check by wrecking someone but you didn’t win.

Sometimes respect shows up after a little bit of a physical conversation or two.

Speaking of go-karts. You need to get Lake Speed on the podcast and ask him about how he beat Ayrton Senna for the World Carting Championship.

Why don’t you have Robbie Faggart on and hear his side of the story ? I’ve heard it many times.

The silver Coors Beer late model stock was nasty! The only one that could do anything with Freddie was when Bobby Labonte showed up at the track but even then not always. He also taught as a teacher at my school South Rowan High School class of 87 baby! Hope you are well Mr Query! Pastor Christian Chapman

Reminded me of Rick Mast’s story about how he wanted to blow Spencer’s head off instead of fighting him. Those two were the best of friends afterward.

hey

Remember going to concord helping Eddie Masingill thinking Fredie was an A$$

Didn't Freddy run the Hooters pro cup series ?

I swear sometimes guys just gotta have a fight so they both respect each other and realize how dumb they were acting.

My father raced against Freddie at Metrolina and Concord.

Get jack on the channel

Sprague never got Freddie ..he saved it all for Hornaday lol anyone remember night he wore white gloves at irp when he dumped Hornaday? oops.
