Mark turn him?? Did he run out of gas?? Did he break?? What happened??

This was Mark Martin's only Busch series victory of 1990 and his last in
Bill Davis' #1 Ford.

Mark Martin wins in a car that Jeff Gordon would soon take over with
Baby Ruth sponsorship.

That must've been some finish. YouTube don't even have it.

@5

Jeff Gordon actually took the #1 car over full time the next year, 1991,
with the same sponsor, Carolina Ford Dealers. Jeff Gordon's 2nd and
final full year in Busch his #1 car switched to the Baby Ruth sponsor.
When you see clips of Gordon's career starting in Busch Series they just
always show clips with the Baby Ruth car because he won 3 times that
year and finished 4th in points. The first full year with the Carolina
Ford Dealers car he didn't get a win, finished 11th in points, although
he did win Busch Rookie of the Year.

With NASCAR recently putting up videos of the 1991 to 2000 Busch races
here on its YouTube it appears more and more likely this one wasn't
televised. What a shame given the barn burner ending. There's probably
some footage out there from a racing highlight show or something but who
knows.

Yeah TNN didn't go heavy into BGN till 1991 so a lot of 1990 races we're
either not on TV or on something like Prime.

This race was covered by MIZLOU, but they did not televise it live or in
it's entirety. It was shown on tape delay and condensed to fit into a 30
minute time slot. The actual racing footage was only 18 minutes, with a
brief introduction and recap of the race results and points after the
race. They interviewed Martin but not Ellis after the race. This
information is all from my excel spreadsheet, as I don't actually have
the DVD handy to watch it right now. Hope this helps.
