He passed in 1997. 10.

Walleyewhacker posted: 04.06.2014 - 10:54 am Rate this comment: (0) (1) Earnhardt sure wasn't dominating at the two races at Pocono when we blew up at both races in the early laps. At least Ricky Rudd in 1988 and Geoff Bodine in 1994 led some laps before blowing up. 17. saltsburgtrojanfan posted: 01.30.2015 - 12:25 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Caution 1: Lap 78-96: rain Caution 2: Lap 112-115: #55 accident Caution 3: Lap 188-196: #21,74,88,98 accident turns 1/3 Caution 4: Lap 233-236: oil on track Caution 5: Lap 251-258: #15 accident turn 2 Caution 6: Lap 262-264: debris backstretch Caution 7: Lap 345-348: #49 accident turn 2 18. zuel660 posted: 05.09.2018 - 9:57 am Rate this comment: (2) (0) 5 out of the top 10 cars sonsored by beer, and 2 by tobacco...ahhh, the good 'ol days!! :) 19.

Rusty's '85 season after this would literally fall apart with bad luck and poor finishes week after week. 22.

Couldn't hear the other 2 names. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
