The Scene Vault Podcast -- Richard Childress Racing-Dale Earnhardt Tire Changer Will Lind Part 2
Спорт
In the second and final installment of our interview with Richard Childress Racing legend Will Lind, he discusses all the Daytona 500s that got away from Dale Earnhardt and what it meant to him personally when the NASCAR icon finally won the sport’s biggest race in 1998.
Will also tells our listeners about the Goodyear-Hoosier tire wars, a controversial decision by the RCR crew to replace Earnhardt’s missing tires at Charlotte, the transition between RCR crew chiefs Kirk Shelmerdine and Andy Petree and his own decision to take a step back from life on the road.

What a legend. Thanks Rick and Steve for giving a platform for this guy to speak. That Hoosier story is amazing.
Great stories. Will is so humble, I get the feeling he and Dale Sr. were closer than he lets on. To Rick and Steve- I was hoping this interview would happen. Thank you. I wish there was a Part 3!
Met Will Lind in the pits after the Pepsi 400 after Dale won. My first race. Great interview!
Great interview.. Please interview Gary Wagoner. He worked for Petty in the 70s and then spent the rest of his career with Childress.. Thanks so much for the continued history lessons through these fine people and you guys..
Awesome video
I agree it still hurts and I never met dale
Great interview! 👏🏼
Thank you Will!
These interviews get better every episode. A lot of people like Will really made the sport !!
Thanks For Uploading Rick And Steve
Awesome! I wish we could see some of those pictures he was talking about, like putting tires on at Charlotte in turn 1... Cool interview either way!
Great stories. Always.👍
I was at CMS when the tires came off. A lot of people were throwing full beer cans and chicken at the 3 car when it came by before the green dropped. Some got up and left on our row of seats calling it pro wrestling on wheels, it was hilarious to watch. I also was there when nascar penalized Dale five laps for rough driving, then proceeded to throw yellows to give him laps back. The toe was knocked out enough to finally blow out the right front and ended his run.
Dale Earnhardt was my arch enemy I was a Rusty fan but that February day I cried like a baby and have had it hit me every time I see or hear someone talk about that day and for the life of me I don't know why it effects me still to this day!
Absolutely a phenomenal interview! Just wow ! Would love to get some time to know this gentleman, what a brilliant and honest look into the a world so few can only dream of .
Great interview. Would have also been nice to hear more about 2001-2017 at RCR though.
I still get emotional with I'm reminded of the loss of the Intimidator #3! I agree with Will Lind ...that it still hurts.
This is my second time watching this video will Lind and all the flying aces needs to be in the nascar hall of fame great video and yes it still hurts I have a really hard time talking about that day it’s been over 20years
Exceptional interview, thanks!
Will Lind is like Bill Belichick with a southern accent...
Awesome interview!
I felt that. When he talks about losing Dale.
I met him and the crew back in early 90s in a gas station in lincolnton nc
Glad to know your lived in Chattanooga! I`m born and raised there! I had a neibhbor that worked on a Grant Adcox car that Cale Yarbouroh had wreck and the put a front and real back on it! Then he had got in a wreck with it right after and totaled it again!
I'll never get over losing Stevie Ray - I'll never get over losing The 3 - Still can't believe it 🌹🇺🇸🌹
I want go into how I got to have dinner with Will in Daytona. But I want to say he told me and my wife that when he walked in front of the car after Dale was strapped in what his eyes looked like. Will said he was already running the race. RIP ❤️ the greatest wheel man ever lived 🙏
Listen to the first 5 minutes, if you want to know what really happened with Hoosier tires.
Cam days
Never heard about Hoosier cheating….. that answers a lot.
Well what happen you want me yo guess
When the tires fell off, I don't remember anyone throwing anything. I was right there
