About this listen

 Throughout the 1970s, NASCAR's top drivers enjoyed a great fan following because of their accomplishments on the race track. A good portion of their fame came from the fact they were recognized for their amazing down-home personalities and their willingness to engage with their fans. Historians Ben White and Jerry Bonkowski are joined by award-winning journalist Mike Hembree of NBC Sports to discuss relationships with drivers of the 1970s,  as well as other subjects including the origins of No. 74 during podcast No. 74 of "A Lifetime in NASCAR."   Give "A Lifetime in NASCAR" a listen for some interesting information on this week's podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
