A tragic race as Chris Gehrke had a terrible flip and was T-boned
heavily by Carl Miskotten, and the race ultimately ended under caution
for the terrible crash (I believe it was rain-delayed). Sadly, Gehrke
passed away from his injuries a few days later.

Race was rain delayed for four hours. I think they ran the IROC race
before the rains came. Race got off to a competitive start, with Jimmy
Horton making it four wide for the lead at the end of the first lap.
Walter Surma and Glenn Brewer tangled in turn 4 bringing out the second
caution, which grouped the field up. A few laps after going green,
Donnie Moran turned Chris Gehrke in the tri-oval. Gehrke's car blew over
backwards, flipped several times before coming to a halt just past the
start/finish line. Several cars avoided Gehrke but the car in front of
Carl Miskotten moved at the last second and Carl had nowhere to go. Both
drivers were seriously injured, Gehrke passed away several days later.

Jimmy "Air" Horton wins in a tragedy-marred race at the track that would
make him famous 2 years later in the Winston Cup's DieHard 500. RIP
Chris Gehrke.

Did Bill Venturini lead or not?

The lap led credited to Bill Venturini should be credited to Jimmy
Horton, bringing Horton's total up to 38.

Car #33 of Dale McDowell was involved in the final crash instead of the
#29 of Keselowski who made it through.

I think JD McDuffie ran this race after missing the Cup race. I could be
wrong. One of his last Talladega starts in a Stock Car was the result of
missing the big race and choosing to run ARCA.

@12 I'm pretty sure ARCA allowed drivers who DNQed the cup race to get a
promoters option for this race, the 70 and 65 teams tried, but the 65
car had to change driver since Mader who DNQed was in another car during
this race.
