Dale Earnhardt took Jimmy out in 3. With 2 laps to go Martin sent Davey
Allison head on into the wall, so much for the patient driver.

I think this was the very first busch race i ever saw, and feel in love
with the series. To bad it lost what made it a fun series to watch, the
short tracks.

This is the start of Jimmy Spencer driving the mysterious #87 Lowes Food
Pontiac. No owner is listed. Greg Sacks, Dale Earnhardt & Jimmy Spencer
drove the car in 1989. The only info I've found was it was a second
Frank Cicci car, but Frank Cicci Racing fielded Buicks not Pontiacs.

Davey Allison wasn't too happy that Mark Martin sent him into the wall.
But Davey didn't realize there wasn't much room for him to clear Mark.
So he basically ruined his chance for the win all by himself.

@4

Earlier in the season when Dale Earnhardt drove the #87 in Dover to a
3rd place finish, the next day he won the Winston Cup race. In victory
lane he mentioned that he drove Buddy Bakers car yesterday in the Busch
race.

This was right after Buddy Baker fired Greg Sacks as the driver of the
#88 car in Winston Cup. Greg Sacks also drove this car in Busch so it
was likely Buddy Baker and Frank Cicci's car.

I'm sure that only I was wondering this as I watch what's available of
the 1989 Busch season, but Jay Johnson according to the ESPN broadcast
was a local car dealer in Bristol TN.

Harry Gant pitted during the Lap 101 caution while leading, the crew
dropped the jack before the lugs were on the left rear tire. The tire
came off resulting in Gant crashing out of the race.

Michael Waltrip's 2nd caution was more than just a stall. His car caught
on fire in the right front wheel at the start finish line and it took
until turn 2 to be able to stop the car and get out.

Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons were the commentators. Jack
Arute and Dr. Jerry Punch were the pit road reporters.
