I don't see anything about ARCA co-Sanctioning this though. 10. binkerbo posted: 12.25.2015 - 3:14 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Some photos of this race have emerged http://thracingphotos.smugmug.com/NASCAR/NASCAR-1982/i-zXR29zr rows 2,3 & 4 are from IRP #98 Shepherd #6 Houston #63 Hensley #47 Tissot #25 Allison #32 D Jarrett #16 Lawson Where did the #26 for Martin come from? His car, owned by Whitaker, is more likely the #15 driven by Earnhardt at Bristol. 11. binkerbo posted: 12.25.2015 - 3:17 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Also in the background of the aforementioned photos #42 Allan Powell 12. binkerbo posted: 12.28.2015 - 10:52 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Sponsors Houston-Old Milwaukee Light Lawson-Bobby Cash Auto Parts Parsons-Skoal Bandit Petty-Uno/Loven RAcing Porter-Associated Construction and Trucking Shepherd-G.W.

However even the Indianapolis papers of the day listed him as completing 199 laps despite saying that he and the two drivers ahead of him that he wrecked with all drove away. Despite the presence of ARCA regulars like Stovall and Jacks, this was not a cosanctioned event, though later races that decade at IRP would be combination events between the Busch and ARCA series, with the Busch drivers usually winning in walkovers. 20.

RaceFanX posted: 07.16.2020 - 4:44 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Manufacturer: #15 Mark Martin- Oldsmobile (It was unsponsored too) Martin made his Busch debut in a GM car but wouldn't race one again in this series until 1993 when he drove a Chevrolet at Daytona after crashing his original Ford. He wouldn't regularly run Chevys until a part-time campaign from mid-2007 onward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
