Battle for Rome

One of the greatest battles in NASCAR history was Hall of Famer Richie Evans and rival speedster Jerry Cook. Ray is determined to uncover - and revive- the cars that made these men famous. They purchase the car from Jimmy Spencer and take us through the side-by-side restoration process of Ritchie Evans #61 car and a replica of Jerry Cook's #38 car. Through the build Ray uncovers legends' stories through the eyes of guys who were there in Rome, NY like Robin Pemberton and Steve Hmiel. Both cars will hit the track at Martinsville - site of one of the greatest races in modified history and the tragic death of Richie Evans himself. Legends live again as Ray recreates one the racing world's most celebrated rivalries on a track that has seen it all.
