Gill led the points coming in but the 12 points Ridley gained on him here proved to be enough to give the wily veteran Jody his second-straight All-Pro title by a single point. Bob Senneker ran a boxier ASA-style stock car in this race instead of one of the more late model-like cars that most All-Pro racers ran. ESPN televised this race. 3.

A pit stop to secure a loose hood pin put him back in the pack but he came charging back through the field in the second half of the race, passing Winston Cup racer and former Nashville local Darrell Waltrip late in the race on the outside, and pulling away to win. This was Waltrip's only start of the season. Purvis came across the line right behind Ridley, he almost lapped him. Senneker, crossing over from ASA, won the pole. The Bluebird had one of the fastest cars in the field but only briefly lead the race when he passed fellow ASA racer Scott Hansen. The Midwest racers would have mixed results. Senneker's runner-up finish was his best in six starts down south in All-Pro. Hansen fell out late in the race but he'd come back and win a few All-Pro races later. Senneker finished second and Ridley won the title with a top-10 run despite both setting off a multi-car wreck. Senneker was running fifth when Ridley got into him and sent the Sneaker for a loop. Ridley spun in the aftermath and the incident set off a big chain reaction crash that collected a number of cars including title rival Gill. Remarkably no one hit Senneker or Ridley so they continued on. Future Busch racer Randy Porter started on the outside pole and jumped out into the early lead. Porter was fast but his #1 Chevy didn't hold together as a blown motor sent him to the sidelines before halfway. Garrett Evans trucks in from the West Coast to make his All-Pro debut. Evans ran alright but ultimately crashed out before halfway. Evans' car ended up on top of Daniel Keene's entry but Keene's team was able to fix it and get him back in the race, he went on to a top-15 run. Tammy Jo Kirk's top-20 run and Charlie Stokes early retirement allowed Kirk to jump past him to finish ninth in the points despite the fact she missed a race very early in the season. An unusual debris caution occurred in this race when one of the track's cautions lights fell and broke on the track. 4. rm posted: 09.07.2020 - 4:37 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) First caution - 4, 33 accident turn 2 Second caution - laps 91-98 - 46 spun turn 2 Third caution - debris/05 spin Fourth caution - 64 accident turn 4 Fifth caution - 05, 64 accident turn 2 Seventh caution - debris backstretch (the aforementioned caution light on the track) Eighth caution - 4, 8, 32, 71, 84, 93, 98 accident turn 1 (at least 4-5 more cars were involved) Ninth caution - 37 stalled turn 4 Tenth caution - 57 debris backstretch With the adjusted lap count for the second caution period, that would reduce the total caution laps in the race from 122 to 84. 46 sponsor - Manning Motorsports 71 sponsor - Italiano's Subs & Pizza 51 crew chief - Gary Balough Balough was previously a two-time winner of this race as a driver in 1984 and 1986. Track name at the time was "Nashville Motor Raceway" There was a lone crossover from the ACT ranks - Randy MacDonald, who represented the tour very well by charging up to a sixth-place finish from the 35th starting spot. MacDonald lost his hood at the end of the backstretch with three laps to go, sitting just barely off of the groove at the entrance of turn 3, but no caution waved in the waning laps. Scott Hansen was running his first big race since he broke his leg in a crash four months earlier. Hansen was faced with a tall task in his first race back, running perhaps the most grinding of the premier late model races of the era. 5.
