The race was actually shortened because of a savage crash very similar
to those suffered by Michael Waltrip and Mike Harmon at Bristol. Young
Bubba Nissen of Virginia Beach, VA crashed into the armco barrier in
between gaps in the turn 2 and backstretch wall. Nissen's front end was
ripped away and the car was then struck by another competitor which sent
the engine and remaining front end parts across the track. Nissen
suffered a badly broken leg and internal injuries but returned to race
again.

Nissen's wreck was one of the worst I've ever seen. The front end of his
car was completely torn off.

Some sponsors:
#15 Dale Earnhardt- Wrangler
#75 Neil Bonnett- Hodgdon
#21 Larry Pearson- Chattanooga Chew
#11 Jack Ingram- J.W. Hunt Produce

Nissen's wreck ended the race because the event was red flagged and
NASCAR determined the repairs would take longer than they had remaining
daylight to compete the race. Rockingham then as now does not have
lights for night racing.
