Figured the last race of the year would be the place to add in 21-25th
in final driver points for the season.

21. Don Marmor 440
22. Morris Coffman 435
23. Ken Rowley 390
24. Roger Blackstock 385

Davey Allison laps the field en route to the victory as ARCA makes its
only visit to Middle Georgia Raceway, a track that later ended up as one
of Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s "Lost Speedways." Allison had eight ARCA wins
in his career but this was the only his only true victory in a short
track race. His other short track win was in a combination race with the
NASCAR Busch Series and he was just the top-finishing ARCA driver well
down the running order.

Former NASCAR Cup racer John Kennedy goes out early with mechanical woes
in his final ARCA start.

Only ARCA start for 1989 NASCAR Dash series Champion, Gary Wade Finley.

Hopefully the contents of comment 5 can be absorbed into the results,
with it we can see that this was the first Top 10 as an owner for Wayne
Peterson, with Finley behind the wheel.

Never even put two and two together on that and I'm the one who posted
it...lol

Still have a bunch of additional info like that I can chip in for a lot
of, though admittedly not all, series races from that era (plus some of
what became the "Elite" divisions) if there's the chance it will
actually be updated. Which, of course, is understandable if that's not
the case based on the site going more in the direction of an official
record book than a Wikipedia-style free-for-all, but I just always found
it neat to be able to contribute like that, you know?

Yeah, the user based contribution has always been great, and the info
you've posted has always been great and super thorough for all these
races. Shame not all of it seemingly gets added with the site changes,
but it's cool to see people continue to comment here and add
information, even if it is a sort of underground operation at this point
haha.

It just makes me wish that I had made more contributions of
previously-missing info back when I had NASCAR's footage archive at my
fingertips. From what I can tell, I don't think I was the only poster
here that had access to it at some point over the years. There is some
incredible stuff in there, broadcasts that may not have resurfaced since
they were originally aired and clips containing information that I
wouldn't otherwise "discover" via any outside source for years
afterwards. Who knows how much presently-missing race detail info is
lurking in there, it goes pretty deep and encompasses various races from
every NASCAR series tracked on this site, and then some.
