Owner Rick Newsom took the wheel of the #20 Ford when it came time for the big race. 2. rob posted: 10.31.2012 - 12:14 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 21 lead changes between baker and allison. that must have been something to see. curious as to what put buddy a lap down. 3.

Nice run for the Matador, Bobby Allison would go on to finish 2nd in the 500. 4.
