What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was introduced to NASCAR racing in the 60’s by my Dad. Attending races or watching them on TV was one of the ways we bonded. The Screen Vault Podcast does an excellent job of remembering the history of NASCAR. Almighty every episode rekindles the fun that my Dad experienced together before he passed away in 2001.

JB2762 · Apr 2025

This podcast is second to none for any nascar fan. Rick and Steve open their Time Machine and take you back to nascar of years past. These interviews are so in depth that it is impossible to listen to it in open sitting so most of them happen over 2-3 weeks. If you are a nascar fan from the 70’s - 90’s this is a much watch.

Cplantier9022 · Aug 2024

The GRAND NATIONAL SCENE/Winston Cup Scene is what this podcast honors, but Rick Houston with Steve Waid covers more than just pages from the Scene over the years. They honor the history of NASCAR as the sport of Stock Car Racing and the Culture that it was apart of and the Culture it created internally. I am proud to have been a supporter for a while and a follower pretty much since day one. If you fell out of love with NASCAR Racing as a sport this will fill the void well. Especially if you check out the YouTube Channel too!!!

Voice4TheOldSouthNC · Jun 2024

For everything wrong with today’s NASCAR this podcast is a weekly reminder of the greatness of the sport’s past. Rick and Steve were there and were able to experience the personalities, the drama and the competition. It is a pleasure listening to the interviews of people who were so much a part of my life over the last 30 years. Thank you, Rick and Steve!
