Mike Wallace continually bumped into Chad Little after the race was over; a reminder that Chad had spun him out in the tri-oval on lap 40. 2.

Robbie Reiser suffered serious injuries in the LaJoie incident. 3. Dustin posted: 09.28.2005 - 12:16 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) This was Robbie Reiser's last race as a driver. The Wisconsin short track champion would become a full time owner and later a championship winning crew chief. 4.

Unfortunately, right after TNN went to commercial during the caution for the Randy LaJoie flip on lap 110, they lost the network feed and missed the end of the race. They managed to get the last lap shootout on tape, though, and replayed it when they got back on the air about 20 minutes later. 6. je24go posted: 03.17.2006 - 1:59 am Rate this comment: (0) (5) I figured you were one of those crash-loving redneck fans that give this sport the reputation it has. 7.

If that is in fact what your screen name implies. I don't know for sure, I mean, I'm just a redneck like you said. Ha! 8.

Plus, Chad Little got into Mike Wallace, collecting Mark Martin and Steve Grissom, among others, and Mike McLaughlin lost it in turn 2 and hit the wall on lap 22. I just watched this race on tape for the first time in 11 years. 9. MOST posted: 05.07.2006 - 5:15 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I would love to see this one on tape. 10.

Thomas posted: 07.24.2006 - 4:24 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I do think before I speak, Jeff, and the crashes were "great" to watch because they were exciting and, in addition, everyone walked away. (I'm pretty sure Robbie Reiser wasn't that badly hurt considering he ran four weeks later at Bristol). 14. nascarman posted: 08.23.2006 - 3:24 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Only 18 of the 42 starters finished. 15. Steve posted: 11.11.2006 - 10:32 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) I like to see large wrecks as well, but I obviously do not want drivers to get hurt, and that's what is great about "The Big One". Despite the spectacular carnage, drivers are rarely injured, which makes them even more amazing. I like to watch the wrecks (great eye candy), and then find out: 1) If everyone involved is physically OK (most important) 2) How many cars are involved 3) What triggered the wreck 4) Who went through the "eye of the needle" to escape the wreck 5) Which championship contenders are involved 6) Who becomes the "Cinderella story" (in this race, that driver was Patty Moise with her best ever finish [7th]) 16.

Normally the split was race to race but in this event they did it quite literally with the hood and right side of the car painted in the red and black of Black Flag and the left side and trunk of the car of the car painted in the yellow and blue of French's Mustard. The split paint job didn't do McLaughlin any good, he was knocked out in lap 22 crash 18.

The battle for the win was extraordinary but the violence of some of the crashes (particularly Reiser's double-hit) was unsettling. 23. RaceFanX posted: 03.07.2011 - 11:51 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Patty Moise scores her best Busch series finish in 7th. Tommy Houston was collected in the multi-car melee early that saw Ward put the CAT car on its lead. The Red Devil #6 spun and got the rear wheels off the ground and afterward Houston decided he'd had enough for one day and handed the wheel over to relief driver Randy LaJoie (LaJoie's Dura Lube #64 having been knocked out of the race in the same crash). As not LaJoie got collected in the second big one and rolled the red #6 coming into the tri-oval. 24. Destroyahirismix666 posted: 04.14.2011 - 9:21 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Possibly the most chaotic Busch *Now Nationwide* Event ever at Talladega, If not one of the three worst. I've only seen video of the two rollover incidents, and would like to see the entire race on tape or on Youtube, but chaos ruled here. Only 18 of 42 starters? That's three out of every 7! The hits that Robby Reiser took were exceptionally violent! 25. RaceFanX posted: 02.03.2013 - 1:12 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) A link to the race in full is now available on this page. Not only was this Moise's best finish, it was the second and final time she led a Busch race. 26. SoxFan24 posted: 05.20.2013 - 1:43 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Dale Fischlein in his first start of the season leads a lap and runs in the lead pack all day. He was the crew chief for Dave Marcis at the time. It would've been a huge upset at the time. He fell back late because he couldn't get going on the restarts but still managed a 13th. 27.

Also, at least 4 lead lap cars (Little, M.Wallace, Benson and Spencer) were involved in wrecks. Mean race. 28. wrank fakefield posted: 08.17.2014 - 8:08 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Thomas: would you not consider injuries that cause you to miss a month of work to be serious? I would hope that it would go without saying that none of us want to see anyone ever get hurt. But it is dishonest to not accept and admit that the inherent danger of auto racing is indeed compelling. How many times have any of us been zoning out in the dog days of a long green flag run only to have an accident snap us back to attention? The danger of auto racing has always been a part of its appeal. The difficulty AND the danger of the sport is why those who have both the skill and the guts to flourish are revered. 29. saltsburgtrojanfan posted: 04.02.2015 - 8:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Caution 1: Lap 11-19: #6,7,18,35,37,42,43,44,51,55,57,63,64,95,99,03 accident frontstretch Caution 2: Lap 24-25: #34 accident turn 2 Caution 3: Lap 30-32: rain Caution 4: Lap 42-46: #29,60,90,92 accident tri-oval Caution 5: Lap 52-54: #1 accident frontstretch Caution 6: Lap 71-74: #72 accident backstretch Caution 7: Lap 96-100: #30 accident tri-oval Caution 8: Lap 111-116: #6,14,17,25,47,92 accident tri-oval 30.

Ironically Little had already become the Busch series' first regular to win the series' annual race at Daytona earlier in the year. This was Little's penultimate Busch series win...and he wouldn't be waiting very looking for what would be his last one. 31.

Not Sure posted: 09.19.2017 - 9:59 am Rate this comment: (0) (3) With between 35 and 39 laps left in the race Jeff Green was spun on the backstretch and hit the inside wall. In 1995 NASCAR this did not warrant a caution: https://youtu.be/6W1Dq-JVhKU?t=1h26m Based on modern standards they would have at least 10 laps of caution. @8 - Green was in 3rd place at the time of his spin. 33.

Jimnsimforever posted: 03.08.2019 - 2:44 am Rate this comment: (2) (0) The most ironic thing about this race was Kenny Wallace finishing 3rd. He was running a partial Busch schedule with his team in 95 and in the previous race at Milwaukee he was penalized for jumping the final restart (he really didn't) and what was a 3rd place finish turned into an 11th. This was the very next race and he gets black flagged for jumping the start of the race and had to do a stop and go penalty, lost the draft, but it ultimately kept him out of the big one and he got that 3rd place finish back in this race. 36.
