Rusty Wallace Visits Former Blue Max Racing Shop: 1980's NASCAR History Hiding in Plain Sight!

What happens here

Rusty points to where the front door of the office used to be, recalling that Judy Tucker, the front desk lady, managed all reservations for hotels and rental cars, and also served as the team's spotter during races. He remembers walking into the shop, seeing race cars lined up, and mentions that sometimes four cars would be worked on simultaneously inside the facility.

Goal: Recall the office environment and interior activities of the shop.
