This would be his only ARCA win and he would not race in the series again until a one-off in 1994. 2. 23andJoe posted: 04.29.2014 - 1:29 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Average speed: 131.115 Margin of victory: 29.5 seconds Pole speed: 170.5322mph Bill Venturini started first Dave Pletcher started second Mark Gibson started third Michael Waltrip started fourth #01 owner: J.C.

Leroy Maybry, Chevrolet 160225. 38. Dennis Metdepenningen. Chevrolet, no time, provisional starter. 39. Maurice Randall. Chrysler, no time, provisional starter. 40. Roger Blackstock. Chevrolet, no time, provisional starter. This is from the Atlanta Constitution. Newspapers.com's translator from image to text is a little questionable at times. The big issue now is finding who replaced the 38th and 39th place starters in this lineup as they weren't in the race. I think ARCA still had the alternates system in place at the time so if those two had car problems or couldn't race for whatever reason, the next two went in their place. 11.
