Classic NASCAR Stock Cars Take Road Atlanta: Racing Hard and Mistakes Were Made

What happens here

The host speaks with the owner of the #90 Citifinancial car, who recounts how he acquired the vehicle. He talks about Dan Maloy (the man in the cowboy hat), who convinced him to buy a stock car by offering to haul it to the track and crew for him. The #90 is a 2002 Robert Yates chassis with an '06 Fusion body and a D3 engine. He mentions replacing the original cambered rear end housing with a setup more suitable for road course racing, making it more competitive.

Goal: Understand the acquisition and modifications of the #90 Citifinancial car.
