Tim Richmond had a better pit stop late in the race to beat Ricky Rudd.
Rudd had been dominating all day.

I think this was the first race I ever watched on ESPN.

Richmond's win broke Darrell Waltrip's win streak at Wilkesboro. Waltrip
was looking at winning six races in a row.

By winning this race, Tim Richmond joined Morgan Shepherd and Richard
Petty as the only drivers to win in the 1981-1985 style Pontiac Grand
Prix. (Tim and Cale Yarborough both won in Pontiac LeMans during this
time). That type of Grand Prix only won 7 races during its use from 1981
to 1985. Richard got his last 5 wins in that car. Tim and Morgan both
won once on short tracks.

Watching this race on youtube. During the first caution, the Cars #4,
17, and 70 were not involved in that accident. They simply slowed and
came to a stop to avoid becoming involved. Only the 43, 71, and 97 spun
or sustained damage.

This was Richmond's only win of the season and his last in the Blue Max
#27 Old Milwaukee Pontiac. Richmond was shut out of victory lane in 1985
then joined Rick Hendrick's team for 1986.

And the rest is history. If he hadn't gotten sick, who knows what he
would've accomplished. The fact that he was so competitive even while he
was ill is truly incredible.

Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons were the commentators. Dr. Dick Berggren
and Larry Nuber were the pit road reporters.
