Jim Thirkettle's final Southwest Tour race had an interesting end. He
came out of retirement to battle it out at Phoenix. On pit road under
the ninth caution, he came out of his stall and made slight contact with
Darrell Waltrip, then gunned it down pit road and hit another car
pulling out and almost vaunted over the pit wall. His day was done
shortly thereafter. Ron Hornaday Jr. crashed hard in turn 1 with 2 to go
and sat there against the wall, but no caution was called. This allowed
Scott Hansen to close up to Dick Trickle but Trickle hung on to win the
race.

This was the second year in a row Trickle won this race, held on the
Phoenix NASCAR Winston Cup undercard.

Dr. Jerry Punch and Ned Jarrett were the commentators. Benny Parsons was
the sole pit road reporter.

This race saw a big fire on the track after a high speed, two-car crash
in Turn 1. Mark Perry's #01 crashed on the front stretch hard, going
into the inside wall, before he got nailed from behind by Butch Miller
as the latter had no time to react, sending both cars spinning into the
outside wall in the turn. The impact tore Perry's fuel cell and caused a
gasoline spill and momentarily large fire but thankfully it largely
burned out on its own just before Miller bailed out of his entry.

Both drivers walked away. Miller ran this race, his last in the
Southwest Tour, in a red #2 that was one of his usual #52s with a digit
removed to accommodate the series' usual #52 of Roman Calczynski.
