Ricky Rudd takes the lead well before the halfway point and never looks
back, recording his second career win.

What would have happened had RCR stuck with Ricky Rudd, and not gotten
Earnhardt to drive the #3? Big E was a past champion (1980), but had not
done great since then (3 wins, to Rudd's 2), and Rudd looked like a real
up and comer. Crazy to think about what might have been.

Boogity.. Rudd was a good driver, but not as aggressive as Earnhardt.
The fit was perfect with Dale and Richard Childress.

According to the MRN broadcast, there was suppose to be 30 cars but the
14th place qualifier Mike Alexander in the #01 Action Van Chevrolet
(owned by Emanuel Zervakis) withdrew after they had an engine problem
during practice and didn't bring another one back from Richmond.

As far as I know, this was Dodge's last top 10 until 2001

Dale Earnhardt turns in a top-5 run as he finishes a race at
Martinsville for the first time since his win here in the fall of 1980.

Bobby Allison finishes second at Martinsville for the sixth time in his
career, a well-timed good run given his title rival Darrell Waltrip came
home third. Allison raced at Martinsville 44 times over the course of
his Cup career but despite 17 top-5s and 28 top-10s at this track he was
never able to unlock the gate to victory lane and get one of the
grandfather clocks here.
