Gordon would end up grabbing the final transfer spot (as if he needed it) and Schrader would end up crashing on the final lap. 4.

He never won a points race driving for SABCO. 9. 10andJoe posted: 03.25.2012 - 12:28 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) #90 status: handling #07 status: handling 10. 10andJoe posted: 03.25.2012 - 12:32 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Lap leaders: Bobby Labonte 1-3, John Andretti 4, Bobby Labonte 5-17, Ken Schrader 18-21, Jeff Gordon 22-34, Sterling Marlin 35-50 (Mark Martin did not lead any laps) 11. 10andJoe posted: 03.25.2012 - 12:33 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) First caution: Laps 14-16 - Debris Second caution: Laps: 34-37 - #90, 28, 35 accident backstretch Third caution: Laps: 42-44 - #07, 80, 26, 41 accident turn 2 12. 10andJoe posted: 03.28.2012 - 4:03 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) ERROR CORRECTION: There was no caution at laps 2-5. Cautions were as listed in post #11. The caution listed at laps 2-5 was in the 1999 125 #1. 13. 10andJoe posted: 03.28.2012 - 4:06 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Laps led: Sterling Marlin 16, Bobby Labonte 16, John Andretti 1, Jeff Gordon 13, Ken Schader 4 14.

It might have been a bit of a shock given Bodine finished in the top-5 in his prior two 125s but it was only the beginning of a train wreck season for the Tabasco outfit. 15.

Unlike the "Tabasco Fiasco" this was NOT a sign of things to come, Benson didn't fail to qualify for any other races during his two year tenure at Roush. 17. nohbody posted: 07.27.2019 - 6:37 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @1 Proving the broken lap-belt is what killed Dale, and not the impact alone. Shit, his 1996 Die Hard 500 crash was a far harder hit (and multiple ones after the initial head-on hit to the wall). 18.
