Doubt it. 4. 18fan posted: 01.23.2010 - 7:13 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Gant's fourth second of the season. Kyle Petty blew an engine, which caused five cars to spin, and either Gant or Parsons slowed down to not spin and Bobby passed everybody to win. 5. carnut posted: 03.22.2011 - 11:04 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I think Darrell Waltrip finished on his two back rims 6. rob posted: 04.21.2011 - 8:32 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) one of the best races ever... and no television. 7.

I'm just taking that guess because there was no 24 in this race according to whats here. And I see Cecil Gordon who was normally in the 24 driving the 19? Or was it another car entirely? 12.

Are there any photos or videos of the final lap of the race? 13.

That makes three straight top-5's for you and you're currently in fourth in the points standings. Dale, I know we're the defending champions, but, I just sold the team to Jim Stacy." Osterlund could have been burnt out and/or struggling with funding. Dale would finish in the top-10 once for Stacy in four races. He would race the remaining 11 races for RCR recording two top-5's and six top-10's. He finished 7th in the final standings racing for three different car owners. Childress had raced in the first 20 races that year recording one top-5 finish before he gave way to Dale. 16. rateus posted: 02.09.2021 - 5:28 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @11 Dick May actually qualified the #19, Cecil Gordon took it over for race day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
