The laps that he led should be given to Joe Thurman in car #5. He was the teammate to Tommy Houston. They drove identical cars during the race and were running 1-2 during the second caution period. Thurman led all 8 laps that Ruttman is scored as leading. 18. BoCatcher posted: 08.16.2017 - 5:37 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Harry Gant was not the owner of George Dalton's car.
