About Glorious White-Knuckled, God-Fearing, Spun-Out-And-Half-Turned-Over Racing Stories
Glorious Racing Stories is a nonfiction narrative podcast by Dirty Mo Media that immortalizes the greatest people and moments in motorsports as determined by veteran racing journalist Rick Houston. The podcast refurbishes years of interviews, impressions and recollections into a molding of glorious memories. The result is a nostalgic throwback experience in a modern-day vehicle that celebrates racing’s glory years – back when racers raced, crashed, scrapped and fought to survive; when stock cars looked stock; and when the sport was white-knuckled, God-fearing, spun-out-and-half-turned-over.
There aren't many times when the legendary voice of Ken Squire takes the backseat. But this story is an exception.
With the laps winding down in the 1993 Daytona 500, Dale Jarrett's job was simple: get to the lead. He found himself within striking distance of the front, and the Daytona 500 victory.
In the broadcast booth above, Ned Jarrett called the action for millions tuned into CBS. And to Ned's surprise, it was his job to call his son home to victory.
But before Jarrett could take the checkered, he had to get through two of NASCAR's toughest competitors. Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt.
Host Rick Houston and Ned Jarrett break down one of NASCAR's most iconic calls, and tell the story of the "Dale and Dale show" from the man who made the call.
This week, we keep it in the family. The Jarrett Family. And it's one you won't want to miss.

23 - Pearson vs. Richmond & Waltrip vs. Wallace
This one is about to get scrappy.
NASCAR has had its fair share of famous fights over the years. And odds are, John Dodson's been in a few of them. When tempers flare, Dodson seems to find himself in the middle of the action. Dodson is the scrapper, the enforcer, and he isn't backing down.
He has come face-to-face with some of NASCAR's heavyweights, staring down names as big as David Pearson. Dodson and host Rick Houston rehash some of NASCAR's biggest brawls, covering fights from the 1984 Firecracker 400 to the famed 1989 Winston All-Star race.
Get ready. This one is a Glorious, Bare-Knuckled ride that you'll have to hear for yourself.

22 - Phil Parsons: The Eyesight Rumor
Words. They can hurt. Especially when those words are rumors spread by peers, and even an entire industry. Just ask Phil Parsons.
Two years after winning his first Winston Cup race, Parsons found himself on the outside of the sport looking in. And a rumor had a lot to do with it.
During the off-season between the 1989 and 1990 seasons, Parsons had cataract surgery on his left eye, and the rumors began.
Word began to spread. “Phil Parsons has issues with his eye sight,” or “Parsons has serious issues,” and “Parsons is all but blind.”
Phil Parsons alongside host Rick Houston dive into the rumor mill that took the sport by storm, one so strong, it had lasting impacts on his career.
