June 17: Three-time Loretta Lynn’s champion Steve Childress was among the best to come out of the amateur ranks in 1988 with his constant battles with the likes of John Kitsch, Damon Bradshaw, and Kenny Kizzar. Childress had a lot of momentum going into the 1989 season, and Suzuki’s Pat Alexander gave him a shot with a semi-support ride. After a few years on the circuit he decided that he wanted to go to college and get a degree. Today, Stevie has his own dental practice in Beckley, WV.
