Dale Earnhardt Jr. takes a look into yesteryear of NASCAR as he sits down with prolific journalist Deb Williams. On the heels of winning the prestigious Squier-Hall Media Excellence Award, Deb continues to be a trailblazer in stock car racing, working the NASCAR beat year-round. She talks about growing up in a racing family, covering several breaking news stories outside of racing, and how she broke past the "no women in pits" barrier.
