The Scene Vault Podcast -- Richard Childress Racing/Dale Earnhardt Tire Changer Will Lind Pt. 1

Will Lind got his start in the sport working with James Hylton, but he went on to have a LONG and successful career with Richard Childress Racing and was probably best known for changing rear tires on Dale Earnhardt’s Flying Aces/Junkyard Dogs pit crews of the late 1980s and early 90s.
This week, Will talks about his hardcore early days in the sport, when he went to GREAT lengths to carve out a place for himself in the garage, his beginnings with RCR and the Dale Earnhardt he knew away from the track.

I was never a Earnhardt fan but I will never forget the time at new Hampshire listening to his radio and pitted from up front! Got back out on the track way back! He keys the radio and says" did y'all got out to lunch or something"! Loved it

[@johncraine9082]

Rick it was great to meet you today at the Winston Cup Museum! Love your work here on The Scene Vault! Keep it up!

[@TheSceneVault]

It was good to meet you as well. If they ever need a pace-car driver up there at South Boston, let me know!

[@jimmybateman9047]

Please do a week long interview with him and upload it all. And somehow get Kirk to do an extended interview.

[@TheSceneVault]

We had Kirk on the audio version of the show a couple of years ago, before we started the KZbin channel. Here’s Part One: open.spotify.com/episode/72H8qRofzRmfgi8ToBFENY?si=VsFBUCwWTE-HjRupQwTZzw And Part Two: open.spotify.com/episode/22f17qYW9uOkZhcSj6aNVF?si=ni3Gi91sRm-kPQOBx_IU0g

At 11:00 they agree that Ricky Rudd won the 1983 Riverside Race... Didn't Bill Elliott Win his first race in that race? Look it up, says Ricky Rudd finished 37th. I think. I could be wrong but I don't think so. Am I wrong?

[@TheSceneVault]

There were two Riverside races a year back then. Ricky won the one that was held in early June. The one you're thinking of was the season finale.

[@ronwells5935]

Thanks for reply. Didn't realize there were two races a year there.

This guy talks a lot like Richard Childress but acts like Danny Earnhardt.

[@ciccone39]

Haha that’s interesting. I thought he sounds a little like Bill Belichick.
