HARVICK and BYRON

SAVED BY WILLIAM BYRON

THE YEAR WAS 2003, and we were at Richard Childress Racing on the annual NASCAR media tour. This was the last season that Winston would sponsor the Cup Series.

I was doing a story for some publication -- I forget which -- and RCR supposedly had the toughest group of Cup, Busch (now Xfinity) and Truck drivers that year. Kevin Harvick and Jeff Green were two of those drivers, and I can't remember the third. It might have been Mike Skinner; I don't know.

I asked each driver a question or two and wrote my story. But that's not the end of the story.

I recently realized that Harvick was the last Cup driver still racing that I ever interviewed personally. And he retired at the end of the 2023 season.

I don't think I ever talked to Ryan Newman, and I can't think of another current driver I talked to.

So I'm officially done.

Wait a minute! I just realized that I interviewed a teenaged William Byron in 2014 when I was writing about Hickory Motor Speedway.

Phew! I'm saved.

P.S.: I just remembered that I also interviewed Josh Berry when he was racing at HMS. Josh is moving up from Xfinity to Cup this year.
