Roush Racing's Former NASCAR Shop History Tour: Mark Martin & Jeff Burton's Glory Days Built Here!

What happens here

Rambo guides the host through the engine shop, indicating where Bob Rinaldi used to build engines for Moroso. He then shares a deeply emotional personal story: his father suffered a heart attack while Rambo was at a race. Jack Roush arranged for a private plane to fly Rambo to see his father. He recalls Jeff Burton getting pole position at that very race. The host also points out that Rambo's team used to be driven around in '19-passenger church vans.'

Goal: Identify the engine shop and share a deeply personal story.
