This is already one of the best stock car history site on the internet and it keeps getting better. Great to see stuff from Lee Raymond, Bob Brevak, and the whole ARCA gang from when they were at their best. Wow, they started the 1985 season at Atlanta in 1984? Odd move. 4.

Adcox would become a staple of the tour in the second half of the 1980s and his good run here was a sign of things to come. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
