Ard clinched the 1984 crown by starting but a wreck on the 14th ended his career. He was running in the top 10, when he slid in some oil into the wall and was injured severely. Ard finally walked again by December. Geoff Bodine dominated and won the race. 2.

Sam lost control when he slid on Patterson's oil in turn 3 and nailed the wall. Sam's in bad shape medically and financially now. I encourage everyone to visit http://samard.com/ and donate to the fund setup for Sam and his wife who also is suffering from poor health. 4.

I have to agree with you, SPENCER. 5. driver1 posted: 12.08.2006 - 1:59 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) No one ever's gonna come near Sam Ard as being the best driver in Busch history. 6.

He's one of the best if not THE best ever in Busch Geoff Bodine's sole Busch win in 1984 and 2nd career win of six. Joe Thurman matches his career-best finish, 4th 7.

The crash looked relatively minor compared to some others but as we've seen through history sometimes the minor looking crashes are the worst. 8. startandparkfan posted: 07.09.2014 - 8:35 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) He just made his cup debut that year, he could have been the next big thing in cup. 9.
