Dale’s on vacation this week, so we’re throwing it back to a DJD Classic from 2021 with long-time crew chief, car owner, and broadcaster Andy Petree. This conversation is filled with epic tales about Petree’s rich history, innovative practices in the sport, and what life was really like as Dale Earnhardt’s Crew Chief. Petree’s path then paired him with Benny and Phil Parsons. Hear what tricks he had up his sleeve when he won his first Cup race as a crew chief with Phil in 1988. Andy was Harry Gant’s crew chief when he won four races in a row in 1991. Find out how the car was built differently than most. Hear what competitive advantages Gant had and the rulebook loopholes Petree attacked. Then, Petree goes into detail about his transition to taking the ‘premiere crew chief job in the sport’ for Dale Earnhardt at Richard Childress Racing. Find out how the first meeting with Dale and Childress went and the buzzword that motivated the trio. Once at RCR, Andy shares the reaction from the team seeing him walk in and the resistance he initially faced. THE PODCASTS YOU LOVE. THE MERCH YOU NEED.
