Cause I sure has hell ain't had any luck. The same thing goes for the 1988 and 1991 runnings of the Goody's 300. I'll pay top dollar for any one of the three. 14. jp posted: 07.22.2009 - 5:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Im DYING to see Earnhardt's crash plus hearn's flip.

He would put up those exact same numbers the next day in the 500. 16. Smiff_99 posted: 08.26.2009 - 3:28 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) To my knowledge, there is no existing video of the Earnhardt practice crash. The only reason anybody even knows about it is because during ESPN's '89 edition of their Daytona Speedweeks Highlight show, Bob Jenkins mentions it as you see a short clip of the car on a flatbed The damage looked EERILY similar to the car he wrecked at 'Dega in '96 (Front end tore off, roof caved in a good bit in the middle, no front wheels) 17. jp posted: 09.01.2009 - 7:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) He FLIPPED??!!! 18. Pacer posted: 10.31.2009 - 10:49 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Earnhardt got the green Lowe's Foods car for this race from Greg Sacks (makes sense, Sacks ran a Lowe's Pontiac in three races later in the year) The picture on this website shows it was likely originally a #88... http://www.stockcarhistoryonline.com/brharchives.php 19. nascarman posted: 11.25.2009 - 4:20 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) You can still see the 88 on the right front headlight. 20. Smiff_99 posted: 03.31.2010 - 10:11 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yeah, JP, Earnhardt flipped. Some eyewitnesses reported the crash as being nearly identical to Phil Barkdoll's flip in the '87 Twins. Here's a link to THAT crash, so you can get an idea of what Earnhardt did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3WS2oFmVyE 21.

RaceFanX posted: 02.07.2014 - 11:18 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) This 2nd-place finish was probably Rusty Wallace's best run in the Busch series. Rusty never won a Busch race (oddly) but came as close as you can here before Darrell got him on the inside at the line in a photo finish. Rusty twice finished second in the Busch series, here and Darlington in 1985, and oddly was runner-up to DW both times. 23. 23andJoe posted: 06.05.2014 - 8:27 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) #52 crew chief: Tim Kohuth (same for all races this season) 24.

He led this race and finished in the top-5 every time he ran it. 28.

I forgot, the modern era started in 1982 for this series and sometime in the 90s when they started televising every single race in the Busch Series they decided that anything that happened before then is erased from the record books and must not be talked about anymore. Kyle Busch is the greatest series driver with 90 some wins. And several guys tied for the most championships with 2. Jack Ingram only had 31 wins and 2 championships, he did not have 5 titles and 300 some wins. Why isn't the Cup series only counted from the modern era of 1972 on? Only Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson have 7 titles. Richard Petty only has 4. 200 wins, what are you talking about? Petty only has 60 wins. If the records arent complete for all the races, don't count those races, just the ones they have and all the championships. Either that or seriously stop counting anything that happened before 1972 in the official record book of Nascar Cup racing. I'm fine with either one, but doing one thing with one and the opposite with the other is dumb. 29. RaceFanX posted: 12.15.2018 - 11:15 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) It's a bit more complicated than that given that 1981 and earlier records for the Sportsman series are what one could accurately describe in a PG manner as a "clustercuss" thus leading to the series being reworked into the Busch/Xfinity series. I wouldn't say TV in the 1990s started ignoring it on purpose, more so the older era just because less relevant as everyone who raced in it more or less retired completely or stopped running the tour. 30. jensenators posted: 12.30.2018 - 8:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) During the Gatorade 200 at Darlington later in the year, ESPN commented that Davey Allison DNQ'd for this race. Davey had tried to qualify his Ford and was not fast enough, and the team decided to run Buick's the rest of the year. The Darlington race was the first time they brought the Ford back because he wrecked the Buick at Bristol the previous week. DNQ: Davey Allison car 28. 31.

So the car was driven by Greg Sacks with the Lowes food sponsor but OWNED by Buddy Baker. So that's where he got it from. 32.

They wound up at a welcome center just inside Florida but it was closed for the night. Bown and whomever else was with him spent the night in the broken down truck and it got down to 16 degrees for a low temperature. The parts needed arrived the next morning, they fixed it right there at the welcome center, and made it to the race. Unfortunately all that work was undone by a faulty clutch at lap 63 but it's a neat story of hard work and determination. 33.

Cup at the time wasn't fully televised and even the Daytona race for the Busch race wasn't aired live (or at all?) according to some you here. If they don't cover the race then guaranteed we won't see a practice crash. 34.
